2018 Map of Mount Michelson A-4 SE

About this map

Franklin Mountains terrain dominates this 2018 survey of the North Slope, revealing a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and high-altitude drainage patterns. The most significant hydrological feature is the Marsh Fork, which flows northward through a narrow corridor between steep ridgelines, creating a primary natural transit way through the peaks. This topographical record provides a clear look at the structural geology of the region, where numerous unnamed peaks and valleys are delineated by precise contour intervals. The absence of roads or permanent structures underscores the wilderness character of this Brooks Range territory, serving as a baseline for environmental study and the tracing of natural drainage systems across the Arctic interior.
