2014 Map of Bering Glacier B-8 NW

About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape where the massive Martin River Glacier and Steller Glacier dominate the northern and southern terrain. In the heart of the Chugach Mountains, the map reveals a complex hydrological network defined by the Bering River and its feeder, Canyon Cr. The interaction between these glacial flows and the surrounding peaks is evident in the formation of Berg Lake and the smaller Canyon Lake. Peaks such as Doughton Peak and Carbon Mountain rise sharply from the ice fields, while named ridgelines like Cunningham Ridge offer landmarks for navigators and surveyors. This 2014 survey documents the glacial extent and drainage patterns in a region defined by its extreme elevation and shifting ice, providing a clear record of the relationship between ice fields and river valleys.
