2018 Map of Demarcation Point C-5 NE

About this map

The Jago River dominates this Arctic landscape as it winds northward toward the Beaufort Sea, carving through a region defined by its braided stream networks and permafrost features. This 2018 survey documents a remote portion of the North Slope, where the drainage patterns of Okpirourak Cr, Iglatavik Cr, and Salluvik Cr illustrate the complex hydrology of the coastal plain. The absence of permanent structures or roads underscores the wilderness character of the terrain, which remains primarily under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management. By examining the detailed contour intervals, researchers can trace the subtle elevation changes that direct these seasonal waterways through a mosaic of tundra wetlands and riparian corridors.
