2017 Map of Livengood A-1 NE

About this map

The Chatanika River winds through the interior Alaskan wilderness north of Fairbanks, serving as the central drainage for a network of creeks and gold-bearing valleys. This 2017 survey shows the Steese Expressway/Highway as it cuts across the northern terrain, providing the primary modern corridor through this upland region. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous tributaries such as Kokomo Cr, Vadine Cr, and the colorfully named Rusty Gold Cr feeding into the main river system. These creek names often hint at the prospecting history of the Fairbanks North Star Borough. The map detail highlights the intersection of transportation and topography, tracing the high-country routes and the low-lying wetlands surrounding Crooked Cr and Boston Cr in the northern townships.
