2015 Map of De Long Mountains B-4 NE

About this map

Woolfe Fork snakes through this high-latitude terrain of the North Slope, illustrating the complex drainage patterns typical of the De Long Mountains. This 2015 survey provides a modern snapshot of a remote landscape where the Ipewik River originates and flows through an area defined by significant relief and the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t11s r52w and t12s r51w. The convergence of these watercourses amidst the varied contour elevations highlights the geological structure of the Brooks Range foothills before they descend toward the Arctic coastal plain. Researchers can examine the precise hydrography and township divisions that delineate this largely roadless and uninhabited territory.
