2014 Map of Bering Glacier D-6 NW

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park encompasses this entire northern landscape, which was mapped in detail by the USGS in 2014. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes and significant glacial features that shape the local drainage systems. The Bremner Glacier dominates the southwestern portion of the sheet, providing a massive source for local waterways. In the north, the Chakina River cuts through the high-altitude topography, while the southern reaches are marked by the headwaters of the W Fork Tana River. This survey captures the precise boundary of the wilderness at a time when digital mapping allowed for a refined look at the movements of these ice fields and the intricate networks of unnamed seasonal streams and ridges that define this portion of the Unorganized Borough.
