Mt Kelly dominates the high ground of the northern terrain in this portion of the North Slope borough, situated within the De Long Mountains. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of two major river systems: the Ipewik River, which cuts across the northwestern corner, and the Kukpuk River, which winds through the southern sections. This 2015 survey reflects the enduring isolation of the region, where the lack of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the role of the river valleys as natural corridors through the topographic folds of the Arctic wilderness. Mapping here focuses on the precise contouring of the peaks and the hydrography of the interior, essential for understanding the remote watersheds of the far north.
