2023 Map of Mount Michelson B-2 SE

About this map

Mollie-Beattie Wilderness and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge define the high-latitude terrain of this North Slope region. The landscape is dominated by high-elevation drainage systems, where the waters of Karen Creek and Katak Creek navigate through steep topographic contours. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the Brooks Range foothills, showcasing how these alpine streams have carved distinct paths through the protected wilderness areas. The map provides a precise modern look at the remote glacial-carved valleys and ridges within the public land survey system blocks t1s r30e and t2s r31e, offering a clear view of the natural borders and watercourses that shape this preserved Alaskan environment.
