2017 Map of Bering Glacier A-1 SW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park dominates this coastal landscape where massive glacial systems meet the sea. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes as the mountains descend into the Gulf of Alaska, framing the deep inlets of Taan Fiord and Icy Bay. This 2017 survey captures a dynamic shoreline where landforms like Kageet Point and Kichyatt Point break the coastline, marking the boundary between the open ocean and protected waters. Further north, the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge encompasses coastal islands and sensitive habitats. To the southeast, the Caetani River emerges as a prominent drainage, illustrating the intricate hydrography of this glacial margin. The map serves as a precise record of the topographical features and legal township boundaries, such as t21s r24e, in one of the most wilderness-dense regions of the Yakutat City and Borough.
