1955 Map of Mount Michelson B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Mount Michelson anchors this mid-century survey of the Brooks Range, rising as a prominent landmark within the northern reaches of the Arctic National Wildlife Range. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, where the Hulahula River and Okpilak River flow northward toward the Arctic coast. This edition captures the extent of the Esetuk Glacier as it appeared during the 1950s, a period before significant modern glacial retreat was widely documented. The topography is intricately detailed, showing the relationship between high peaks like Tugak Peak and the numerous named tributaries such as Old Man Creek and Esetuk Creek. With no roads or trails indicated, the map highlights a remote wilderness characterized by steep elevation changes and high-altitude water bodies like Okpilak Lake.
