2018 Map of Mount Michelson A-3 SW

About this map

The Canning River carves a broad valley through this high-latitude terrain on Alaska's North Slope, serving as the central geographic feature of the region. This 2018 survey documents a remote landscape defined by steep topographic gradients and the braided channels of the river as it flows northward toward the Beaufort Sea. The map depicts a wilderness largely untouched by permanent infrastructure, organized by the Public Land Survey System grids including T4s R26e, T4s R27e, T5s R27e, and T5s R28e. The intricate contour lines illustrate the complex drainage patterns and ridgelines that characterize the northern Brooks Range foothills, providing a precise look at the elevation changes across this Arctic environment.
