1955 Map of Demarcation Point

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Range dominates this landscape where the high peaks of the Romanzof Mountains and British Mountains descend toward the Beaufort Sea. The map records a sparsely populated coastline marked by the Alaska Yukon boundary, where the international border reaches the Arctic Ocean at Demarcation Point. Along the shore, complex lagoon systems like Icy Lagoon and Angun Lagoon are protected by gravel bars and spits such as Icy Reef. Local geography is shaped by numerous rivers flowing north from the Continental Divide, including the Aichilik River and Jago River. Human activity is noted at the abandoned settlement of Gordon (Aband) and the Kuluruak (Site), while a lone Tractor Trail provides a trace of mid-century overland passage across the tundra. High elevation points like Mt Hubley and Mt Greenough overlook glaciers and braided river valleys in this northernmost frontier.
