2016 Map of Bering Glacier D-6 NE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses the vast majority of this landscape in the Alaskan interior, showing a region defined by high-elevation glacial terrain and dramatic relief. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the braided glacial drainage of the West Fork Tana River, which flows through a broad valley floor at the base of steep mountain slopes. This 2016 survey provides a precise look at the glaciated topography of the Unorganized Borough, where the intricate contour lines illustrate the sharp divide between the river basin and the surrounding alpine summits. The lack of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the park's interior, providing a foundational record for those studying the geomorphology and hydrology of the Tana River's upper reaches.
