1951 Map of St Matthew

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

St. Matthew Island and its neighboring outcrops rise from the Bering Sea in this 1951 reconnaissance, representing the entire land area within the Bering Sea National Wildlife Refuge. The map reveals the dramatic coastal topography of this uninhabited sub-arctic landscape, from the steep cliffs of Glory of Russia Cape in the north to Cape Upright at the southeastern tip. The relief shading, derived from aerial photography taken in 1948, emphasizes the isolation of Hall Island and the needle-like profile of Pinnacle Island.
