2018 Map of Mount Michelson A-1 NW

About this map

Hulahula River flows through this corner of the Arctic wilderness, defining the primary drainage for this remote section of the North Slope. The terrain is characterized by the braided path of the river as it moves northward toward the Beaufort Sea, flanked by its tributaries including West Patuk Creek and E Patuk Cr. The survey illustrates the complex topography of the Brooks Range foothills, where dramatic elevation changes are documented by dense contour intervals. Aside from these natural waterways, the map is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, including boundaries for t3s r31e, t3s r32e, and surrounding townships, marking out vast tracts of uninhabited land where no permanent settlements or infrastructure are recorded.
