2024 Map of Bering Glacier D-8 NW

About this map

Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness dominates this corner of the Chugach Census Area, preserving a massive expanse of high-altitude glacial terrain and mountain slopes. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with steep contours rising toward prominent peaks and ridges. A significant geographical focal point is Twelvemile Canyon, which cuts through the northeastern sector of the sheet, channeling glacial runoff through narrow, high-walled passages. This map reveals a primitive environment where modern infrastructure is entirely absent, showcasing the raw geological forms of the Alaskan interior as they appeared in 2024. The detailed contouring illustrates the complex drainage patterns and ice-carved topography that characterize this portion of the Bering Glacier region.
