2024 Map of Bering Glacier D-8 SE

About this map

The Chugach Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, where vast ice fields and glacial systems define the physical environment. Major ice features like Fan Glacier and Wernicke Glacier illustrate the dynamic glacial activity that has shaped the drainage patterns of the region, including the headwaters of the Middle Fork Bremner River. This survey captures a point of transition between the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness and the Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, which are further bounded by the Chugach National Forest to the south. The jurisdictional boundary between the Copper River Census Area and the Chugach Census Area crosses through these mountain peaks, marking a remote administrative line through some of the most preserved wilderness in the United States.
