2015 Map of De Long Mountains A-4 NE

About this map

De Long Mountains topography dominates this 2015 U.S. Geological Survey study of a remote intersection between the North Slope Borough and Northwest Arctic Borough. The landscape is defined by massive natural elevations and the winding path of the Kivalina River as it cuts through the Akutagrak Hills. Notable high points such as Mt Sapumik and Sapumim Neakau Mtn provide significant landmarks within a terrain that transitions from the sharp relief of Spiny Ridge in the north to the Wulik Peaks in the southeast. This map captures a strictly natural environment, where the lack of roads or permanent structures reflects the wilderness character of the region. Local researchers and physical geographers can trace the subtle drainages like Suloktingirak which feed the broader river systems of the Arctic interior.
