1955 Map of De Long Mountains B-1

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The De Long Mountains dominate this remote northern landscape, characterized by complex topographic drainage systems and high-elevation peaks. Recorded during a mid-1950s aerial survey, the region is defined by the braided courses of the Kelly River and its various tributaries. This hydrographic network includes Wrench Creek, which carves through the western slopes near Amphitheatre Mountain. The lack of man-made structures or trails on the sheet reflects the untouched nature of this Arctic wilderness during the mid-twentieth century, highlighting a period before significant modern industrial or infrastructure development reached this part of the North Slope.
