2018 Map of Demarcation Point C-2 NW

About this map

The Ekalukak River and Siksikpukak River wind through this remote Arctic landscape in the northern foothills of the Brooks Range. This 2018 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a region defined by complex braided river systems and expansive wetlands. The terrain is characterized by the convergence of several major watercourses, including the Matsutnak River and Kalokut Cr, which flow northward toward the Beaufort Sea. The map's detail illustrates the shifting nature of these glacial-fed streams as they traverse the North Slope, providing a precise record of the hydrology and drainage patterns in an area largely untouched by permanent settlement or industrial infrastructure.
