1956 Map of Demarcation Point B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Range dominates this mid-century survey of Alaska's northeastern interior, documenting a landscape of steep elevation changes and intricate water systems. The Kongakut River winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, flanked by the prominent heights of Whale Mountain as it flows northward. To the west, the Siksikpalak River carves its own path through the high terrain, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the region. This 1956 topographical study was developed using photogrammetric methods from aerial photography, providing a record of these unsurveyed lands under the Umiat Meridian. The presence of the Base Line running through the center of the sheet indicates the preliminary surveying efforts by the Bureau of Land Management to establish order in this remote territory.
