1959 Map of Bering Glacier A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Glacial ice dominates this 1950s landscape, where massive flows like the Yakataga Glacier and Guyot Glacier descend from the high Robinson Mountains toward the southern coastline. The terrain is defined by extreme elevation changes, from the jagged heights of Munday Peak and Mount Eberly down to the sea-level flats along the Gulf of Alaska. Near the coast, several Cabins and a singular Oil Well reflect early industrial and subsistence activity in this remote region. The drainage network is complex, with meltwater feeding into named systems like the White River and Munday Creek. This map captures a specific moment in the mid-century before significant glacial retreat, documented through photogrammetric methods that highlight the dense crevasses and moraines of the Eberly Glacier and Yaga Glacier.
