The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) forms a chain of 14 volcanic islands: Agrihan Alamagan Anatahan Asuncion ... Sarigan and Tinian stretching over 375 miles north to south, with a land area of 181 square miles. There are three major inhabited islands, but most live on Saipan.

Rather the urbanized areas are usually referred to as villages or communities and none are incorporated with fixed, surveyed boundaries. Each of the islands of Saipan, Tinian and Rota are separate municipalities. Saipan is about 12.5 miles long and 5.5 miles wide and has a total

38. [CNMI GOVERNMENT: Geography & Location The 750km long mariana islands archipelago consists of the 14 islands of the USCommonwealth of the northern mariana islands (CNMI), a 685-kilometer (500 mile http://www.mariana-islands.gov.mp/geog.htm

The 750-km long Mariana Islands archipelago consists of the 14 islands of the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a 685-kilometer (500 mile) chain, and the southern most island of the US Territory of Guam. The geologic formation of the Northern Mariana Islands began about 42 million years ago. Two pieces of the earth's crust, the Pacific Ocean Plate and the Philippine Ocean Plate, pushed against one another to form the Marianas Trench. The movement of the plates against one another created a hot spot out of which the volcanoes of the Northern Mariana Islands were created. The islands are located between 13 and 31 N latitude and between 144 and 146 E longitude in the Western Pacific Ocean. The total land area of the Northern Mariana Islands, excluding Guam is 477 sq. km. (176.5 sq. miles). These islands, plus numerous small banks, seamounts, and pinnacles extend approximately 500 miles in a north- south direction and comprise the Mariana Archipelago. All of the islands are volcanic, part of the "Pacific Ring of Fire," but the southern islands of Rota, Aguijuan, Tinian, Saipan, and Farallon de Medinilla are older and primarily limestone with level terraces and fringing coral reefs. The nine northern islands are younger and primarily volcanic; several contain active volcanoes. The highest island in this archipelago, and in of all Micronesian islands, is Agrihan (3,166 ft.). Because of the limestone that covers much of the southern Mariana Islands, a great deal of the rain soaks into the ground. This fresh water collects at about sea level and floats on top of sea water in what is called a water lens. Wells can be drilled to bring this fresh water to the surface.

SAIPAN AND THE NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS LOCATION: Saipan is the capital of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). It is a beautiful tropical island with white sand beaches, a turquoise lagoon, and a fringing reef on its western shore. Rapidly developing and ethnically diverse, Saipan is located in the Western Pacific, 15 degrees north of the equator. It is south of Japan, east of the Philippines, north of Papua New Guinea, and a long, long way west of Hawai'i. Saipan is part of a string of 14 islands, most of which are uninhabited. Saipan is approximately 14 miles long and 4 miles wide. By the standards of Micronesia, it is a sizeable island. However, the visitor to Saipan can stand on the ridge that runs down the island's center and look out at the endless expanses of the Pacific Ocean and the Philippine Sea. To the south lie Tinian and Rota. Picture courtesy of Trust Territory Archives, Pacific Collection, Hamilton Library, University of Hawaii Return to Main Menu
