1955 Map of Demarcation Point

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Wilderness dominates this mid-century survey, where the Brooks Range meets the Beaufort Sea. The landscape is defined by the Continental Divide and high peaks like Mt Isto and Mt Hubley, which feed a massive system of ice and water including Arey Glacier and McCall Glacier. Along the coast, the environment transitions into a series of lagoons protected by narrow reefs, such as Icy Reef Lagoon and Egaksrak Lagoon. Evidence of human activity is scarce but specific, noted by the settlement at Gordon, the Kuluruak (Site), and a Tractor Trail cutting through the northeast. At the international boundary, Demarcation Point stands as the literal corner of the United States and Canada, marking the remote terminus where the British Mountains descend toward Demarcation Bay.
