1956 Map of Mt. Michelson

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Mount Michelson and Mount Chamberlin anchor the southeastern corner of this vast Arctic landscape, representing two of the highest points in the Brooks Range. The map reveals a wild, unpopulated frontier where the Canning River and Hulahula River drain north into Camden Bay. Inland, the Franklin Mountains and Sadlerochit Mountains create a formidable barrier between the coastal plain and the high peaks. The 1980s administrative updates delineate the Arctic Wildlife Refuge and Arctic Wilderness, areas characterized by a lack of permanent human settlement.
