1984 Map of Bering Glacier A-6

About this map

The massive Bering Glacier dominates the northwestern corner of this remote Alaskan coastal landscape, its moraines and sand flats spreading toward the Gulf of Alaska. The terrain is defined by a complex network of glacial outflows and braided river systems, including the Tsiu River and the Kaliakh River, which carve through the Grindle Hills and around Donald Ridge. This 1984 provisional edition highlights the dynamic nature of the shoreline, where the Tsiuat River and Chiuki River meet expansive sand deposits before reaching the sea. A single Drill Hole noted near the West Fork suggests early resource exploration in this otherwise unpopulated wilderness, while landmarks like Hanna Lake and Kulthieth Creek provide essential reference points for navigating the shifting glacial topography.
