2020 Map of Saint Lawrence D-6 SE
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Saint Lawrence Island is defined by its dramatic northern shoreline where the Bering Sea meets land in a series of prominent coastal features. In this remote stretch of the Nome Census Area, the coastline is punctuated by sharp landmarks such as Meruwtu Point, Agtapuk Point, and Ooynik Point. These protrusions create natural indentations in the shore, forming Dovelawik Bay and the broad Akeftapak Bay. The map reveals a landscape shaped by powerful maritime forces, from the expansive Nirgeehak Beach to the steep elevation of Niyghakpak Cliff. This 2020 survey provides an exact look at the island's geography before further coastal erosion or rising sea levels alter these traditional landmarks, serving as a critical point of reference for studying the natural history of this subarctic environment.
