1954 Map of Livengood B-1

About this map

Beaver Creek and Nome Creek dominate this 1950s interior Alaskan landscape, where the drainage patterns of the White Mountains reveal a history of resource exploration. High-elevation survey points like VABM 3510 O'Brien and VABM 2578 Ophir overlook a network of tributary streams that include O'Brien Creek, Ophir Creek, and Mc Kay Creek. The presence of isolated Cabins and a lone Mine near the eastern bend of Nome Creek points to the small-scale prospecting and seasonal residency characteristic of the Fourth Judicial Division during this era. A single Trail serves as the primary overland artery, weaving through the valleys of the Fossil Cr region, connecting these remote outposts to the broader territorial interior before the development of modern road networks in the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
