2024 Map of Bering Glacier D-6 NE

About this map

Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness encompasses the majority of this Alaskan landscape, characterized by dramatic elevation changes and glaciated terrain within the Copper River Census Area. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the braided drainage patterns of the West Fork Tana River, which flows through a broad valley floor amidst steep topographic contours. This 2024 survey captures the untouched character of the high wilderness, where the absence of roads and human structures highlights the region's preservation as a primitive natural environment. Researchers can observe the complex hydrography and glacial outwash plains that shape the basin, providing a detailed look at the modern state of this protected ecosystem.
