2016 Map of Bering Glacier A-5 NW

About this map

Kaliakh River dominates the glacial drainage pattern of this landscape in the Yakutat region of Alaska. The river system winds through extensive wetland complexes and braided channels that characterize the coastal transition between the high mountain ranges and the Gulf of Alaska. Unlike more settled regions, this area is defined by its natural watercourses and the dynamic shifting of the Kaliakh River across the alluvial plain. The map provides precise topographic detail of the valley floor and the surrounding high-elevation contours, documenting the precise hydrology of this remote wilderness area before subsequent seasonal or seismic shifts could alter the path of the river.
