2023 Map of Demarcation Point A-1 NW

About this map

Whale Mountain stands as a prominent landmark in this northern reach of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by steep contours and glacial drainage patterns. The landscape is entirely undeveloped, preserved within the Mollie Beattie Wilderness, showing a wilderness character that has remained unchanged for generations. This 2023 survey provides a clear look at the intricate hydrography of the North Slope, where numerous unnamed streams descend from the peaks of the Romanzof Mountains toward the Beaufort Sea. The cartography emphasizes the absolute isolation of this region, lacking any roads, structures, or man-made improvements beyond the invisible boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, including t2s r44e and t3s r45e.
