How to Use This Diomede, Alaska Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Diomede, Alaska. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Alaska or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Diomede.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Diomede occupies a vast, silent expanse of interior tundra where the earth stretches toward the horizon in muted shades of ochre and gray. It lies 609.5 miles west-northwest of College, AK (from College, AK: bearing 285°T), and is situated 134.3 miles northwest of Nome. The landscape here is defined by low, stubborn ridges and wide, sweeping plains that hold the frost long after the sun has climbed high in the subarctic sky. A nearby stream cuts a winding, silver path through the permafrost, its movement sluggish and deliberate against the backdrop of an immense, open sky that dwarfs the human scale. In the quiet hours of dusk, the light turns a thin, translucent violet, casting long shadows that seem to stretch across the ages and bind the rugged terrain into a single, unmoving stillness.

Diomede thrives as a place of deliberate endurance, where the local economy relies heavily on the seasonal rhythms of the land and the persistence of traditional knowledge. Generations have organized their lives around the cycles of the interior, favoring a pace that respects the formidable climate and the isolation of the surrounding plains. The structure of daily life remains tethered to the arrival of bush planes, which serve as the vital pulse for goods and connection in a region where the isolation is a physical weight. Here, the character of the people is etched by the same resilience found in the hardy taiga, a quiet strength that recognizes the necessity of mutual reliance in a world where the wilderness dictates the terms of survival.
