2018 Map of Mount Michelson C-4 SW

USGS Topo · Published 2018

About this map

The Canning River carves a broad path through the northern landscape of the North Slope, shaping the wide Canning Valley. This 2018 survey captures a remote wilderness defined by braided river systems and the stark transition from valley floors to high peaks. In the southeastern corner, Mt Copleston rises sharply, overlooking the confluence of smaller tributaries. The map details the drainage patterns of Nanook Creek and Ignek Cr, which flow through the Ignek Valley to join the main river channel. Within the Canning's shifting course, Black Island stands as a distinct landform amidst the alluvial deposits. This cartographic study illustrates the complex hydrology of the Arctic coastal plain fringe, where seasonal melt and glacial history dictate the shape of the land long before any permanent infrastructure reached these latitudes.
