1983 Map of Mt. Michelson A-1

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Romanzof Mountains dominate this high-latitude terrain within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where the topographic relief is defined by sharp peaks and active glacial systems. At the time of this 1980s study, the Okpilak Glacier descends through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, feeding the Okpilak River as it flows north toward the Beaufort Sea. The landscape serves as a critical hydrological transition point, marked by the Continental Divide cutting across the southern reaches of the map. North of this line, waters like the Hulahula River and East Fork Paluk Creek drain toward the Arctic Ocean, while the Sheenjek River represents the southern-flowing drainage system. This survey of the Arctic Wildlife Refuge Wilderness illustrates a roadless environment shaped entirely by tectonic uplift and ice.
