2018 Map of Mount Michelson A-4 SW

About this map

Pogopuk Cr winds through the northwestern reaches of this Arctic terrain, marking one of the few named watercourses in a landscape dominated by dramatic elevation changes. The North Slope’s characteristic drainage patterns are evident as Salishicru Cr and Juniper Cr carve through the high-altitude topography. These remote corridors, documented by the U.S. Geological Survey using 2009 imagery and later hydrography datasets, illustrate the complex watershed of the Brooks Range foothills. The map defines the boundaries of t4s r24e, t4s r25e, t5s r24e, and t5s r25e, providing a precise look at the Public Land Survey System grid in a region devoid of permanent settlements or infrastructure. It serves as a vital reference for understanding the natural geography of the North Slope Borough before more recent environmental shifts.
