Sagavanirktok River, also known as the Sag River, starts between Endicott and Philip Smith Mountains in the Brooks Range and flows north for 110 miles (180 km) to the Beaufort Sea, about 105 miles (170 km) west of Kaktovik and 12 miles (19 km) northeast of Deadhorse, Alaska. The Iñupiat name for the river is “Sawanukto” meaning “strong current”, as reported in 1901 by S.J. Marsh, who was a prospector. The river delta is about 13 miles (21 km) across and incised by several distributaries on the Beaufort Sea coast between Foggy Island Bay and Prudhoe Bay.
