2024 Map of Mount Michelson D-4 NE

About this map

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the entirety of this northern landscape, where intricate hydrological networks define the coastal plain of the North Slope. The terrain is characterized by a dense concentration of wetlands and unnamed braided river channels that flow northward toward the Beaufort Sea. Surveyed with contemporary elevation data, the map illustrates the subtle topographic shifts across township boundaries such as t8n r25e and t7n r24e. The absence of developed roads or named settlements underscores the wilderness character of this protected region, focusing instead on the natural drainage patterns and the vast coastal tundra ecosystem as it exists in the early twenty-first century.
