1955 Map of Mount Michelson C-1

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Range dominates this mid-century survey of Alaska's North Slope, showing a landscape defined by braided river systems and the northern reaches of the Brooks Range. The Hulahula River and Akutoktak River cut prominent north-south paths through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns of the high Arctic. To the west, the Sadlerochit Mountains rise sharply, providing a dramatic backdrop to Kingak Hill and the distinctive Kingak Cliff. This sheet, based on 1955 aerial photography and field annotations, captures the region before its later designations, featuring numerous unnamed tributaries and watercourses like Itkilyariak Creek and Aretic Creek. The mapping reflects early Bureau of Land Management efforts to predetermine land lines in this unsurveyed territory of the Umiat Meridian.
