1984 Map of Bering Glacier D-4

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park dominates this Alaskan topographic landscape as it was documented in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a high-altitude wilderness shaped by massive ice movements, featuring the extensive Bremner Glacier and the distinct Tana Lobe at its western margin. These frozen features dictate the flow of the West Fork Tana River, which navigates a complex system of valleys between nameless peaks and ridgelines. Because the area falls within the Wrangell-Saint Elias Wilderness, the map shows a landscape entirely devoid of roads or settlements, highlighting the region's preservation as a primitive natural corridor. Geologists and glaciologists can study the specific contours of the ice and the drainage patterns that defined this interior Alaskan terrain prior to the mid-1980s.
