About this map

The De Long Mountains dominate this high-latitude terrain within the North Slope, revealing a landscape defined by the drainage patterns of the Arctic watershed. In the southern portion of the map, the Noatak National Preserve protects the headwaters and valley of the Kugururok River, while the northern reaches include the early course of the Utukok River.

Transport and navigation through this roadless wilderness are dictated by topographic landmarks such as Nachralik Pass, which provides a natural transit point between the Kogruk Creek and Cairn Cr basins. Prominent peaks including Sphinx Mtn and Echo Mtn serve as significant navigational aids in a region where the traditional Public Land Survey System grid lines intersect with some of the most remote geography in the United States.
