2014 Map of De Long Mountains A-4 SW

About this map

The Kivalina River meanders through this portion of the De Long Mountains, defining the central drainage of a landscape marked by high elevations and prominent lookouts. The terrain is anchored by the significant height of Sapumegrak Mountain in the northeast and Inukpasuk Hill to the north, which dominate the local topography. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the area's geography during a period of modern topographical mapping, utilizing North American Datum of 1983 standards. The presence of Kawiksak Bluff overlooking the river valley highlights a region defined by its natural watercourses and dramatic relief. This map is particularly useful for understanding the hydrological patterns of the Northwest Arctic Borough and identifying family-named or culturally significant landmarks in this remote Arctic terrain.
