2018 Map of Mount Michelson D-3 SE

About this map

The Katakturuk River defines the physical and hydrologic character of this remote Arctic landscape. This 2018 survey captures the shifting braids and channels of the river as it flows through the North Slope Borough, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the coastal plain. The map is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, showing the intersections of t6n r27e, t6n r28e, t5n r27e, and t5n r28e. The lack of man-made infrastructure or settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the region, where the natural course of the water across the tundra remains the primary geographic landmark for navigation and study.
