2024 Map of Bering Glacier D-3 NW

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains rise dramatically across this portion of the Wrangell-St Elias Wilderness, where the landscape is defined by its sheer vertical relief and high-altitude terrain. The southern reaches of the map transition into the Granite Range, a distinct geological formation that anchors the lower half of the quadrangle. Flowing through the northern valleys, Goat Creek provides the primary drainage for the area. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the primitive state of this wilderness area, where surveying is conducted largely through remote sensing. This data, compiled from recent National Elevation and Hydrography datasets, illustrates the extreme topography and watershed patterns within one of the largest protected wilderness areas in the United States.
