1951 Map of Livengood A-5

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of the Interior define this landscape, where the meandering courses of the Tolovana River, Tatalina River, and Chatanika River converge. This 1951 survey, revised in the early 1970s, documents the settlement of Minto (New) along with its essential Landing Strip, providing a clear look at transportation in a region where water and air travel superseded roads. To the north, a solitary Cabin and a network of Tractor Trails suggest seasonal access through the higher ground near Uncle Sam Creek. The intricate network of lakes and sloughs, including Cod Lake and Idaho Creek, illustrates the complex hydrology of the Tanana Valley before modern development altered local drainage patterns.
