Saint Mary's Town is quite small, with a total population of only over three hundred people. Most of them are natives, with a few white businessmen who couldn't make it elsewhere, doing small-scale purchasing and transport businesses here.
The town's Central District is situated on a highland near the Yukon River. There isn't even a traditional bar here, just a pitifully few shops. The shops cover a large area, selling various necessities for life in Alaska, and they can also repair boats and snowmobiles and other electromechanical products.
The purchasing point in the town center gathers salmon and fur bought from the Inuit and packs them, transporting them via small airplanes to Fairbanks or Anchorage for resale.
This area gathers one-third of the town's population. Beyond here, the town only has a road leading to the airport runway, while other roads are dirt paths created by long-term vehicle travel that connect to the residences of the surrounding Inuit.
