2017 Map of Bering Glacier D-2 SE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the majority of this landscape, which is defined by extreme elevation changes and high mountain peaks. The Chitina River cuts through the northeast corner, serving as the primary drainage for the surrounding glacial terrain. Surveyed in 2017, this map illustrates the vast, undeveloped character of the Alaska interior, where the Public Land Survey System grid lines of Township 11 South, Range 22 East and surrounding townships are the only human-imposed markers on the topography. The contour lines, set at 80-foot intervals, reveal a complex series of ridges and basins that represent a portion of one of the largest protected wilderness areas in the United States.
