2023 Map of Mount Michelson D-1 SE

About this map

The Hulahula River meanders across the high-latitude wetlands of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in this 2023 survey. This remote corner of the North Slope is characterized by its intricate drainage patterns, where the main river channel is joined by the Natarogrok Creek amidst a landscape of unnamed ponds and seasonal watercourses. These braided river systems and their adjacent riparian corridors are vital geographic features of the coastal plain, reflecting a landscape almost entirely shaped by natural hydraulic processes. There are no roads or permanent human settlements recorded within these boundaries, emphasizing the area's status as a protected wilderness. The map provides a detailed record of the hydrography and public land survey divisions, including t6n r32e and t5n r32e, essential for understanding the administrative and environmental layout of this portion of Alaska.
