2023 Map of Demarcation Point B-5 NE

About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge encompasses this terrain in the North Slope, where the braided channels of the Jago River dominate the lowlands. This landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, as the river system is fed by multiple tributaries including McCall Creek and Igilakvik Creek. To the east, the map preserves the boundary of the Mollie Beathie Wilderness, a protected area established to maintain the integrity of one of the continent's most significant ecological preserves. Rising above the river valleys, Marie Mtn serves as a primary topographic landmark in a region characterized by its lack of human infrastructure or permanent settlements. The map illustrates the natural drainage patterns of the coastal plain as they existed in the early twenty-first century, providing a clear view of the shifting riverbeds and high-latitude tundra typical of this portion of Alaska.
