2023 Map of Mount Michelson A-2 NE

About this map

Mt Pangnik and the high alpine ridges of the Brooks Range dominate this modern survey of the North Slope. The landscape is defined by the slow movement of ice and water, featuring the Kuluvok Glacier and the Pangnik Glacier which feed into a complex system of drainages. Located within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, this area represents a preserved wilderness where the Hulahula River and West Patuk Creek carve through the steep topography of the Mollie Beattie Wilderness. The map reveals the intricate contouring of Kuluvok Ridge and the headwaters of Katak Creek, providing a detailed look at the geomorphology of Alaska's northernmost mountain chain.
