2014 Map of De Long Mountains A-5 NE

About this map

Kukpuk River meanders across the northern reaches of this Arctic terrain, providing a rare hydrological anchor in an otherwise high-elevation wilderness. This 2014 survey captures a remote landscape where political and administrative boundaries are the primary human markers. The map clearly delineates the dividing line between the North Slope Borough and the Northwest Arctic Borough, cutting through the mountainous interior. In this sparsely labeled region, the terrain itself is the subject, with tight contour lines illustrating the complex topography and drainage patterns characteristic of the Brooks Range foothills. For those studying indigenous land use or modern administrative boundaries in northern Alaska, this sheet provides exact placement for the river and the borough border within the Public Land Survey System grids.
