1971 Map of Mount Michelson B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Kavik River and Juniper Creek define the northern drainage of this North Slope wilderness, where glacial activity and permafrost shaped the landscape before any modern development reached the area. This 1971 aerial-photogrammetric survey records a territory devoid of roads or permanent structures, divided by the east-west Base Line survey marker. The terrain transitions from broad, braided alluvial fans in the north to increasingly complex topography in the south, where Pogopuk Creek and Cobble Creek originate in the high ground. Small, unnamed drainages like Fin Creek feed into the larger water systems, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Arctic coastal plain's foothills during the early 1970s.
