2016 Map of Bering Glacier B-5 NW

About this map

Waxell Ridge dominates the northern elevation of this landscape, its steep contours giving way to the massive expanse of the Bering Glacier to the south. Located near Yakutat, this region represents a dynamic glacial environment where massive ice sheets and high ridges dictate the geography. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns and topography typical of coastal Alaska, captured here during a 2016 survey. This specific quadrangle covers an area where township and range lines, such as t16s r15e and t17s r15e, overlay a largely uninhabited wilderness, illustrating the reach of the Public Land Survey System into some of the continent's most challenging terrain.
