2018 Map of Mount Michelson C-3 NE

About this map

Katakturuk River and Vularvik River define this remote Arctic coastal plain landscape within the North Slope Borough. This 2018 survey documents a region characterized by its hydrological patterns, showing the braids and shifts of these watercourses as they move through the northern wilderness. The absence of roads or permanent settlements highlighted in the source indicates a landscape shaped primarily by seasonal cycles and environmental shifts. For researchers and those interested in the topography of Northern Alaska, the map provides a precise record of the terrain and drainage systems as they existed in the early 21st century, prior to further environmental or climate-driven alterations to the permafrost-underlain ground.
