2015 Map of De Long Mountains B-2 SW

About this map

The Wulik River winds through this northern Alaskan landscape, carving a valley between the high ridges of the De Long Mountains. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation reveals a terrain defined by dramatic elevation changes, where Sheep Mtn serves as a prominent landmark in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map is primarily characterized by its remote hydrology and complex topographic contours, with the river system acting as the primary geographical anchor for the surrounding wilderness. For researchers and geologists, the sheet offers a clear look at the drainage patterns and landforms of the North Slope Borough, including the surveyed townships of T34N and T33N. The lack of human infrastructure or named settlements highlights the isolated nature of this Arctic environment, focusing instead on the natural features that have shaped the region's history.
