2020 Map of Saint Matthew B-6 NE

About this map

Saint Matthew Island rises from the cold waters of the Bering Sea in this isolated corner of the Bethel Census Area. The map captures a specialized coastal landscape where steep cliffs meet the ocean, and the interior is marked by the distinct topographic contours of the island's high ground. Because this is a modern topographic survey, it provides precise elevation data for the northern reaches of the island, including the rugged shoreline transitions between the land and the sea. The geography here is defined by its remoteness, showing no permanent settlements or infrastructure, but instead documenting the natural boundary between the island's landmass and the vast surrounding waters. The survey is particularly valuable for its clear depiction of the island's physical form and the surrounding maritime environment at the start of the 2020s.
