2023 Map of Demarcation Point C-4 NW

About this map

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge encompasses the entirety of this remote northern landscape, where the braiding channels of the Okpirouvik River and Niguakvik River dominate the hydrology of the North Slope. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of wetlands and seasonal watercourses, as documented by the National Wetlands Inventory, illustrating the complex drainage patterns typical of the Arctic coastal plain. The absence of named settlements or transportation infrastructure highlights the preservation of this region as a protected wilderness area. Surveyed through high-resolution imagery and hydrographic datasets, the map provides a precise account of these wandering river systems as they move toward the Arctic coast, offering a clear view of the natural boundaries and township lines within this protected federal territory.
