1950 Map of Bering Glacier A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The massive ice flows of the Guyot Glacier and Yakataga Glacier dominate this 1950s survey of the Alaskan coast. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Robinson Mountains, where prominent summits like Mt Eberly, Munday Peak, and Mt McPherson rise above the glacial ice and snowfields. As these glaciers descend toward the Gulf of Alaska, they feed a network of coastal drainages including the White River, Munday Creek, and Johnston Creek. Evidence of human presence is minimal in this wilderness, though a lonely Cabin is marked along the shoreline near Umbrella Reef. This map illustrates the dramatic glacial retreat and hydrological patterns of the mid-century, capturing the transition from high alpine peaks to the narrow coastal plain.
