1971 Map of Philip Smith Mountains C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Ribdon River and the Lupine River dominate this 1971 study of the North Slope's interior. This topographical record illustrates a landscape defined by braided river systems and steep elevation changes, mapped via photogrammetry from 1970 aerial photography. The Lupine River flows across the northern section of the quadrangle, while the Ribdon River carves a path through the central region, both showcasing the characteristic alluvial patterns of the Brooks Range foothills. Based on control from the USGS and USC&GS, the map represents a wilderness area that remained largely unsurveyed on the ground, with land lines pre-determined by the Bureau of Land Management but not yet marked in the field at the time of publication.
