1985 Map of Bering Glacier C-6

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Mount Steller anchors this high-altitude landscape in the mid-1980s, serving as a prominent landmark within the massive ice systems of south-central Alaska. This provisional survey captures the immense reach of the Bagley Icefield as it feeds into the Steller Glacier, illustrating a complex glacial environment before significant modern recession. The map highlights the intersection of the Wrangell - Saint Elias National Park and the protected Wrangell - Saint Elias Wilderness, preserving a record of this federally managed interior. Geomorphological details like the prominent Moraine and the jagged Waxell Ridge reveal the raw, slow-moving power of the ice as it shaped the Chugach and Saint Elias ranges. Compiled from aerial photography taken in the early 1970s, the map provides a precise baseline for studying glacial movement and wilderness boundaries in one of the most remote sections of the state.
