2018 Map of Mount Michelson D-1 SW

About this map

The Sadlerochit River dominates the eastern portion of this high-latitude drainage basin, where it flows northward through a landscape defined by braided channels and expansive wetlands. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by hydrological patterns, with the smaller Carter Cr and Itkilyariak Cr moving through the tundra west of the main river. The area is divided by standard survey boundaries including t6n r31e and t5n r30e, illustrating the systematic mapping of the Alaskan North Slope. Given the absence of roads or permanent settlements in this quadrangle, the map serves primarily as a record of the shifting riverbeds and the intricate network of seasonal watercourses that shape the Arctic coastal plain.
