2015 Map of De Long Mountains B-3 SE

About this map

The De Long Mountains dominate this high-latitude terrain, where the crests of Satsiksuk Mtn and Ipkagnaktaugruk Mtn define a landscape shaped by extreme arctic drainage patterns. Water systems here flow toward disparate basins, with the Kukpuk River carving through the western reaches while the Sooner River and the W Fork Wulik River drain the northern and southeastern slopes respectively. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation of the North Slope reflects a wilderness area defined almost entirely by its topographic relief and hydrography, lacking the permanent human settlements or infrastructure common in more temperate regions. The map provides a detailed record of these named peaks and river headwaters within the framework of the Public Land Survey System, specifically marking the convergence of various townships and ranges such as t34n r20w and t12s r49w.
