1959 Map of Bering Glacier A-2

About this map

Guyot Glacier and the Yahtse Glacier dominate this mid-century topographical survey of the Alaskan coast. The map provides a critical look at glacial recession, with specific blue-ticked lines indicating the shifting limits of the ice through the late 1950s as it retreated from the shores of Icy Bay. To the south, the Robinson Mountains rise sharply from the coastline, dissected by several coastal drainage systems including Independence Creek and Sandy Creek.
