2018 Map of Mount Michelson A-3 NE

About this map

The Franklin Mountains dominate the southern half of this landscape, presenting a complex system of ridges and high-elevation drainages in the Arctic region. This 2018 survey documents a remote watershed characterized by north-flowing watercourses, most notably the Sadlerochit River which cuts through the northern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by its dramatic relief, where deep valleys are carved by seasonal flow from Franklin Cr and Whistler Cr. The map lack any human infrastructure, roads, or settlements, instead recording the undisturbed natural geography and the Township and Range boundaries used for public land management in this wilderness area. It serves as a precise record of hydrologic patterns and topographical contours before any potential future development or environmental changes occur in these northern reaches.
