1969 Map of St. Matthew

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

St Matthew Island and its satellite landmasses sit isolated in the Bering Sea, captured here in a 1969 topographic survey that incorporates data dating back to 1898 Treasury Department charts. This remote volcanic archipelago is defined by prominent coastal landmarks like the Glory of Russia Cape to the north and the sharp profile of Cape Upright at the southeastern tip. The map details the treacherous maritime environment, including the narrow Sarichef Strait separating the main island from Hall Island. Smaller outcrops such as Elephant Rock and the steep Pinnacle Island are meticulously noted, alongside inland elevations like Sugarloaf Mtn. This document serves as a record of mid-century Arctic surveying, maintaining the nomenclature of early hydrographic explorations while providing modern contouring of the island's steep bluffs and rocky shores.
