1962 Map of Mt. Michelson D-1

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Braided river systems and the Arctic coastline of Camden Bay define this 1950s survey of the Alaska North Slope. The drainage pattern of the Hulahula River and the Jago River reveals the complex, shifting gravel bars of the tundra, where multiple channels diverge and rejoin across a landscape shaped by permafrost and seasonal thaw. Smaller waterways like Katakturuk River and Carter Creek feed into the northern coastal plain, providing a detailed record of the hydrography before modern industrial changes in the region. Compiled by the Army Map Service using photogrammetric methods from 1958, the map preserves the natural state of this remote environment, including soundings and coastal data along the Beaufort Sea as charted in the mid-1950s.
