About this map

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the protected lands of the Mollie Beattie Wilderness dominate this high-latitude terrain within the North Slope Borough. This area is defined by the significant hydrological intersection of the Sadlerochit River and the Kekiktuk River, which flow through complex topographic corridors like the Sadlerochit Valley.

A notable geological transition occurs at Sunset Pass, which serves as a natural gateway between the Itkilyariak Valley to the north and the broader river basins to the south. Small tributaries such as Itkilyariak Creek, Camp 263 Creek, and Ledge Creek illustrate the intricate drainage patterns of this sub-arctic environment, which remains largely untouched by modern infrastructure and development as of 2023.
