1983 Map of Mount Michelson A-3

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Canning River defines the western edge of this landscape in the northern Brooks Range, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding peaks. This 1983 provisional map reflects the administrative designations established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980, which integrated these lands into the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Arctic Wildlife Refuge Wilderness. The terrain is marked by intricate drainage systems, including the headwaters of Franklin Creek and the remote Whistle Creek to the northeast. Compiled from 1972 aerial photography, the survey provides a detailed look at the topographic contours of this undeveloped wilderness before many modern shifts in land management. It captures a moment when the North Slope was being formally organized into vast federal protected areas, emphasizing the natural hydrology of the Arctic over human infrastructure.
