1984 Map of Bering Glacier D-6

About this map

Wrangell - Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell - Saint Elias Wilderness dominate this Alaskan landscape as it was documented in the early 1980s. The map illustrates a high-altitude wilderness defined by massive glacial systems, notably the Bremner Glacier and the Tana Lobe. These icy expanses feed into the valley of the West Fork Tana River, which cuts across the central portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes and a total absence of man-made infrastructure, reflecting the territory's status as a protected wilderness area. This 1984 provisional edition, based on 1972 aerial photography, provides a precise look at the glacial margins and drainage patterns before modern climate shifts altered these ice fields.
