1984 Map of Bering Glacier A-5

About this map

Robinson Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this coastal Alaskan region, where steep peaks give way to a network of braided glacial river systems. The Kulieth River and Duktoth River carry meltwater south toward the coast, creating complex alluvial fans and shifting riverbeds. This 1984 provisional survey, compiled from 1970s aerial photography, documents the interface between the high ridges of Kulthieth Mountain and the Gulf of Alaska. The presence of Sunshine Point and various named tributaries like Odor Creek and Hope Creek indicates the early naming of landmarks by surveyors and local travelers in a terrain otherwise defined by its immense ice-fed drainage basins. The Kaliakh River further illustrates the dynamic nature of these waterways as they approach the sea level flats before meeting the Pacific.
