2024 Map of Bering Glacier D-3 SE

About this map

Saint Elias Mountains peaks dominate the landscape of this high-elevation Alaskan interior, where the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness boundary protects a vast stretch of the Copper River Census Area. The topography is defined by the sharp elevations of the Granite Range and the prominent summit of Mt Gage, which stands near the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Drainage patterns are sparse at these altitudes, though Goat Creek carves a path through the northwest corner, illustrating the glacial and snowmelt hydrology typical of the region. This 2024 survey captures the area in its modern state as a federally protected wilderness, showing no permanent roads or settlements, but instead detailing the sheer verticality and complex land divisions of the Public Land Survey System that govern this corner of the state.
