1984 Map of Bering Glacier D-5

About this map

Tana River and its braided channels dominate this glacially carved landscape, illustrating the dynamic hydrological systems within the Wrangell - Saint Elias National Park. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from the Tana Glacier terminus into the river valley, where sediment-rich waters flow through wide gravel flats. High peaks of the Granite Range rise to the east, their slopes etched with seasonal drainage like Twelvemile Creek. Compiled from 1972 aerial photography, this provisional survey documents the wilderness area before modern shifts in glacial geography, capturing the intricate network of the West Fork and the expansive glacial moraines that define this subarctic environment. The lack of roads or established trails on the map emphasizes the primitive state of the Wrangell - Saint Elias Wilderness during the mid-1980s.
