2018 Map of Mount Michelson D-4 NW

USGS Topo · Published 2018

About this map

Canning River and Staines River dominate this Arctic landscape on the North Slope, illustrating the braided hydrology of a permafrost-underlain coastal plain. This 2018 survey documents the intricate network of wetlands and seasonal watercourses within the Canning Valley before they reach the Beaufort Sea. The absence of roads or permanent structures on this sheet underscores the preservation of this region as a wilderness corridor. The terrain is characterized by a high density of thaw lakes and patterned ground typical of the Arctic tundra, providing an important reference for changes in coastal plain geomorphology over time.
