Maumee Ice Piedmont

Maumee Ice Piedmont (74°44′S 113°25′W / 74.733°S 113.417°W / -74.733; -113.417) is an ice piedmont at the terminus of Kohler Glacier, east of Jenkins Heights, on the Walgreen Coast, Marie Byrd Land. Mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from U.S. Navy aerial photographs taken 1965-67. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (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.
