2014 Map of Bering Glacier C-8 SW

About this map

Chugach National Forest encompasses this high-latitude terrain, where massive ice fields and glacial meltwater define the landscape. The movement of ice is recorded in the presence of the Miles Glacier to the north and the Martin River Glacier along the eastern edge of the quadrangle. These frozen river systems are separated by sharp topographical ridges and high-altitude basins, indicating a wilderness largely untouched by permanent human settlement or infrastructure. At lower elevations, drainage from the surrounding slopes collects in Canyon Lake, a significant water body situated near the southern boundary. The map provides a detailed view of the complex contours and glacial features within the t15s r8e and t15s r9e townships, documenting the glacial margins as they appeared in the early 21st century.
