1955 Map of Mount Michelson C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Sadlerochit Mountains dominate this 1955 topographic study of Alaska’s North Slope, a landscape then recently designated as part of the Arctic National Wildlife Range. Central to the quadrangle is Mount Weller, standing amidst a complex network of waterways that flow toward the Arctic coast. The map highlights significant topographical features like Sunset Pass and a distinct ridge line known as Limit. Drainage patterns are intricately detailed, showing the Sadlerochit River and the Nularvik River cutting through high-relief terrain. The naming of Camp 263 Creek provides a rare trace of human presence, likely referencing a specific survey or exploration site during the mid-century mapping of this remote Brooks Range outlier. Other notable drainages include Marsh Creek, Fire Creek, and the curiously named Black Dog Creek.
