2018 Map of Table Mountain C-3 NE

About this map

The Davidson Mountains dominate the landscape in this remote reach of the North Slope, defined by a complex network of high ridges and deep valleys. This 2018 survey emphasizes the pure topography of the Alaskan interior, where natural landforms are the primary identifiers across vast tracts of territory. The lack of man-made structures, roads, or named settlements highlights the area's wilderness character within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey using SPOT imagery and recent elevation data, the map reveals the intricate drainage patterns that carve through the high elevations of the eastern Brooks Range. Researchers focusing on land management and natural history will find the precise contour work essential for understanding the physical geography of the Davidson Mountains.
