2014 Map of Bering Glacier C-8 SE

About this map

Martin River Glacier dominates the central topography of this northern coastal reach, where massive ice fields shape the drainage patterns of the Chugach National Forest. The map captures the complex interaction between glacial recession and the emerging landforms, most notably in the south where the Steller Glacier meets the rising elevations of the Plenisner Hills. This 2014 survey serves as a vital record of the shifting ice boundaries within the Unorganized Borough, providing precise contour data for the steep, unnamed ridges that separate these two major glacial systems. The absence of permanent settlements or infrastructure underscores the wilderness character of the region, where the landscape is defined entirely by moving ice and ancient rock.
