2015 Map of De Long Mountains A-2 NE

About this map

Noatak National Preserve encompasses a significant portion of this Arctic landscape, where high-altitude peaks like Mt Raven dominate the topography. The terrain is defined by its drainage systems, most notably the winding course of Ikalukrok Creek and its tributary Ikalukrok Cr in the southwest, and Wrench Cr in the northeast. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation reveals a region where human infrastructure is largely absent, marked instead by the administrative boundary between the North Slope Borough and Northwest Arctic Borough. The map captures the complex contouring of the De Long Mountains, providing a detailed look at the watersheds that shape this protected wilderness. For those studying the remote geography of the Alaskan north, it offers a precise record of the natural landmarks and borough divisions that partition the interior.
