1959 Map of Bering Glacier A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Wrangell - St Elias National Monument dominates this coastal Alaska landscape, where massive ice fields meet the Gulf of Alaska. The terrain is defined by the immense flow of the Yakataga Glacier and Guyot Glacier, carving through the Robinson Mountains toward the sea. Along the shore, evidence of mid-century human activity appears near Umbrella Reef, including a notable Oil Well and several Cabins tucked near the mouths of glacial runoff streams like Munday Creek and Johnston Creek. This survey captures a moment of transition for the region, balancing the raw wilderness of peaks like Mount Eberly and Yaga Peak with early industrial exploration and the establishment of federal protected lands. The intricate drainage patterns of the White River and Lurlick River illustrate the dynamic nature of this glacial outwash plain.
