2023 Map of Demarcation Point B-3 SE

About this map

Mollie Beattie Wilderness and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge define the high-latitude character of this landscape in the eastern North Slope. The terrain is dominated by the northward-flowing Egaksrak River, which winds through narrow valleys between rising mountain slopes. Farther east, the Ekaluakat River cuts its own path through the tundra and peaks, reflecting a drainage pattern that has shaped this part of the Brooks Range foothills for millennia. The map reveals a land largely devoid of human infrastructure, where the natural hydrography and federally protected boundaries are the primary markers of the territory. This 2023 survey serves as a precise modern baseline for studying the shifting braided channels and permanent wilderness areas of northern Alaska.
