2017 Map of Philip Smith Mountains A-4 NE
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Philip Smith Mountains dominate this high-latitude terrain within the North Slope Borough, where steep elevation contours reveal a landscape shaped by glacial activity and arctic erosion. This 2017 survey captures the upper reaches of the Sagavanirktok River as it threads through the eastern portion of the sheet. The drainage pattern shown here is characteristic of the Brooks Range foothills, where seasonal meltwater creates a complex network of braided streams and alpine basins. Mapping of this remote sector is defined by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t14s r13e, t14s r14e, t15s r13e, and t15s r14e. This document serves as a precise modern record of topography and hydrology in a region where human infrastructure is virtually non-existent, focusing instead on the raw physical geography of the Alaskan interior.
