1984 Map of Bering Glacier D-7

About this map

Wrangell - Saint Elias National Park and the adjacent Wrangell - Saint Elias Wilderness dominate this Alaskan landscape, captured during a 1984 update of earlier aerial photography. The geography is defined by glacial activity and a complex system of waterways, most notably the braided channels of the North Fork Bremner River and the Middle Fork Bremner River. These rivers are fed by numerous tributaries such as Golconda Creek, Ptarmigan Creek, and Monahan Creek, which cut through high-altitude terrain. The map meticulously documents the icy expanses of the North Lobe Glacier and the broader Lobe Glacier, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns where ice meets moving water. This provisional edition preserves the precise land divisions and topographic contours of a region primarily accessible via these natural corridors.
