2024 Map of Bering Glacier D-2 SW

About this map

The Wrangell-St Elias Wilderness dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the jagged peaks of the Saint Elias Mountains meet the western reaches of the Granite Range. This is a terrain defined entirely by its verticality and glacial ice, far removed from any permanent settlements or roads. The map illustrates a complex network of ridgelines and summits that form part of one of North America's most formidable mountain systems. The lack of man-made infrastructure highlights the preserved state of the wilderness, serving as a baseline for understanding the topography of the Copper River Census Area before modern development or significant climatic changes shifted these permanent ice fields.
