Description

Includes Wireless Stations in Alaska!

This map of Alaska details various geographic, military, and communication features across Alaska.

The map displays key military and communication infrastructure as of an earlier edition. The simplified key identifies various categories of radio stations: Army radio stations, Navy radio stations, and commercial radio stations, each designated by power ratings in kilowatts (kw). The Army radio stations, indicated by red circles, range in power from 1 kw to 10 kw and are situated in locations such as Nome (10 kw), Ft. Gibbon (10 kw), and Fairbanks (5 kw). Navy radio stations, represented by green circles, include high-powered stations like Sitka (20 kw) and Cordova (10 kw). Commercial radio stations, marked with purple circles, generally feature lower power outputs, such as 2 kw stations in places like Ketchikan and Juneau, while some locations do not list specific power levels.

In addition to radio stations, the map highlights telegraph offices and telegraph lines, marked by black dots and red lines, respectively. The geographic distribution of these stations and lines offers insight into the communication network in Alaska during this period. The map also includes boundaries for national forests, bird reservations, and miscellaneous government reservations, indicated by various symbols and shaded areas.
