2017 Map of Bering Glacier C-1 SW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses much of this high-elevation Alaskan territory, where the vast ice of the Bering Glacier meets the steep rising slopes of the Chugach Mountains. This modern topographic study reveals a landscape dominated by extreme verticality and glacial activity, with contour lines tightly packed to indicate sharp ridges and deep ice-carved valleys. The map provides a precise record of the glacial extent and topographic contours within the Unorganized Borough, documenting the physical state of one of North America's most significant ice fields. The lack of human settlements or infrastructure emphasizes the purely natural and protected character of this wilderness area at the edge of the Valdez-Cordova Census Area.
