2023 Map of Demarcation Point C-3 SW

About this map

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the entire landscape of this 2023 survey in the northernmost reaches of Alaska. The terrain is defined by the braided channels of the Egaksrak River, which flows northward through the Mollie Beattie Wilderness. In this remote sector of the North Slope, the map documents a transition from the elevated contours of the Brooks Range foothills in the south to the expansive wetlands and tundra flats as the river approaches the coast. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the protected status of the wilderness area, which honors the legacy of conservationist Mollie Beattie. Public land survey boundaries for t3n r39e and adjacent townships are overlaid on this natural corridor, providing a precise grid for researchers and environmental historians studying this protected arctic ecosystem.
