About this map

Saint Michael Island serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the settlements of St. Michael and Stebbins are connected by the solitary Stebbins - Saint Michael Road. The landscape is defined by the interaction between the volcanic terrain and the waters of Norton Sound and the Pacific Ocean. Inland, the map reveals a series of freshwater bodies including Puyuk Lake and Clear Lakes, which contrast with the rugged shoreline features like Broad Point and Rock Point.

This 2017 data highlights the geographic isolation of these communities on the southern edge of the Nome Census Area. Local topography is punctuated by elevations such as Stephens Hill and Rock Point Hill, while maritime hazards like Orzaba Reef are documented just off the coast. The township and range lines of the Public Land Survey System overlay this remote stretch of the Alaska coast, illustrating the formal division of a largely roadless territory.
