Narrative

An ice piedmont at the terminus of Kohler Glacier, E of Jenkins Heights, on the Walgreen Coast, Marie Byrd Land. Mapped by USGS from USN aerial photographs taken 1965-67. Named by US-ACAN after USNS Maumee, a supply tanker that serviced McMurdo Station from 1970-85. Upon construction of fuel storage tanks at McMurdo Station, completed in 1970, Maumee replaced smaller tankers used earlier, delivering in one voyage a year's supply of petroleum fuels.
