2018 Map of Mount Michelson A-5 SE

About this map

The Echooka River meanders through the isolated landscape of Alaska's North Slope, carving a path through the northern reaches of the Brooks Range. Joining it is Juniper Cr, a tributary that weaves through the expansive tundra and permafrost of the North Slope Borough. This region, characterized by its remote wilderness and lack of permanent settlements, is defined by its complex hydrology and the total absence of developed infrastructure. The map meticulously documents the intricate network of streams and the subtle variations in elevation within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. For researchers or conservationists, the level of detail provided offers a clear picture of the undisturbed natural state of this Alaskan frontier, where hydrological features like Juniper Cr are central to understanding the region's environmental health and the natural drainage patterns of the Arctic slope.
