1952 Map of Livengood A-6

About this map

Tolovana River winds through the southeastern corner of this Interior Alaska landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a dense network of upland tributaries. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, where north-flowing waters like Hutlinana Creek and Elephant Creek meet the westward-reaching valleys of Applegate Creek and Goff Creek. In the early 1950s, this area remained largely undeveloped, characterized by seasonal or industrial access routes rather than permanent settlements. A lone Cabin and a remote Landing Strip represent the sparse human footprint in this wilderness. The map documents an important moment in regional infrastructure planning, showing the Proposed Highway Alignment bisecting the central hills near Niggerhead Creek. This intended corridor, alongside various Tractor Trails, reflects the mid-century push to connect the Alaskan interior and facilitate resource exploration in the Fourth Judicial Division.
