1955 Map of De Long Mountains C-2

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Eagle Creek meanders through the northern plains of the De Long Mountains, forming part of the remote North Slope hydrology recorded during this mid-century aerial survey. The landscape is defined by the sweeping course of the Kukpowruk River, which winds through the western and southern reaches of the quadrangle. Topographic detail here is focused on the transition from the river basin to the higher elevations in the southeast, where peaks such as Mt Cathy and the high ground at Merk emerge. These land lines were predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management as unsurveyed and unmarked locations, reflecting the state of arctic land administration in the mid-1950s. The map provides a clear picture of the natural drainage patterns and mountain topography before significant modern development reached this part of the Alaskan wilderness.
