2016 Map of Bering Glacier D-6 SE

About this map

Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park covers the core of this 2016 topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by extreme verticality and glacial ice. The survey captures the intricate contour lines of the coastal ranges where the terrain climbs from 2,000 to over 7,000 feet within a few miles. This specific quadrangle, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, documents the complex topography of the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park interior, providing a precise record of the ice fields and ridge lines that dominate this unorganized portion of Alaska. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the remote, wilderness character of the region during the early twenty-first century.
