1973 Map of Mount Michelson C-5

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Kavik River defines the landscape of this North Slope region, meandering through unsurveyed terrain as it was recorded during mid-century aerial surveys. This map highlights the early stages of industrial exploration in the Brooks Range foothills, specifically through the presence of several Drill Hole locations and the Kavik River Landing Strip situated along the riverbank. These features suggest the logistical effort required to access this territory for resource assessment. Surrounding the river valley, topographic high points such as Beli, Ignek, and Cop provide landmarks in a vast expanse of unmarked land lines, which the Bureau of Land Management predetermined before field checking. The 1973 revisions to the original 1955 data reflect a period of sustained interest in the Arctic's geological potential.
