2023 Map of Mount Michelson A-2 SW

About this map

The Franklin Mountains dominate this high-latitude terrain within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge on the North Slope. The northern reaches of the Mollie Beattie Wilderness extend into the southeastern portion of the map, signifying a landscape preserved in its most primitive state. A defining hydrological feature is the Canning River, which winds across the topography, creating a natural corridor through the steep elevation changes of the Brooks Range foothills. The map reveals an area defined by its lack of human infrastructure, focusing instead on the complex drainage patterns and relief of the land. This survey provides a baseline for understanding the unchanged character of one of North America's most protected environments, where the relationship between the high peaks and the river valley remains dictated entirely by natural forces.
