1951 Map of Mt. Michelson

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Mt Michelson stands as the centerpiece of this Arctic landscape, surrounded by the high peaks of the Romanzof Mountains, Franklin Mountains, and the Sadlerochit Mountains. This reconnaissance survey from the early 1950s documents the complex drainage systems of the North Slope, where the Canning River and Hulahula River flow northward toward Camden Bay. The map captures a moment when the region remained largely untouched by permanent development, showing only a lone Cabin near the coast and the strategic Collinson Pt. Notable landmarks such as Lake Schrader and Lake Peters are clearly delineated at the base of the mountains, while interior details like Shubelik Spring and Sunset Pass provide insight into the natural navigation routes used by early expeditions through the Shubelik Mountains.
