2016 Map of Bering Glacier A-5 SE

USGS Topo · Published 2016

About this map

Gulf of Alaska coastal waters meet a low-lying network of braided glacial river channels in this remote portion of the Yakutat City and Borough. The landscape is dominated by the outflow of the Kaliakh River and the Duktoth River, where shifting alluvial sediments create a complex web of wetlands and seasonal waterways typical of the region's dynamic coastal plain. Inland from the shoreline, the North Channel Yakataga River meanders through a landscape defined by its proximity to the massive Bering Glacier system to the north. Transportation in this wilderness environment is anchored by the Yakataga Airport, a critical landing strip situated near the coast that provides essential access to this isolated stretch of the Alaskan panhandle. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns where freshwater glacial runoff encounters the Pacific, a vital area for understanding the ever-changing geography of the northern gulf coast.
