1983 Map of Demarcation Point A-2

About this map

The British Mountains dominate this high-latitude terrain within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Based on 1974 aerial photography, the survey tracks the course of the Kongakut River as it winds through the northern reaches of the Arctic Wildlife Refuge Wilderness. This remote landscape is defined by dramatic elevation changes, with peaks such as Mount Greenough rising above the valley floors. Drainage patterns are established by smaller tributaries like Drain Creek, showing the natural hydrology of the North Slope before any significant human development. The map represents a pristine environment designated for conservation, capturing the geography of one of the most northerly points in the United States.
