2017 Map of Philip Smith Mountains C-4 SE

About this map

Atigun Gorge serves as a dramatic transition point in this northern landscape, where the waters of the Atigun River meet the much larger Sagavanirktok River. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the intricate drainage patterns of the North Slope, characterized by the wide, braided channels of the main rivers and smaller tributaries like Section Creek. The cartography details the complex interaction of hydrology and terrain, documenting the shifting gravel bars and seasonal wetlands that define this sub-arctic environment. The lack of human settlements or infrastructure emphasizes the raw, natural character of the terrain, making this an essential record for studying the geomorphology of Alaska's high-latitude river systems.
