1954 Map of Livengood B-2

About this map

The White Mountains dominate this mid-century Alaskan interior landscape, where the meandering Beaver Creek carves a deep valley through the limestone and dolomite peaks. Surveyed shortly after the war, the map reveals a remote territory accessible primarily by air and water, marked by a single Airstrip and scattered wilderness structures labeled simply as Cabin. These small outposts along the riverbanks suggest the persistent presence of trapping or prospecting during the early 1950s. To the south, Wickersham Creek and Moose Creek drain the high country, including the prominent survey point at VABM 3218 Scham. The intricate network of seasonal drainages, such as Fossil Creek and Montana Creek, provides a detailed look at the hydrology of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before more modern infrastructure reached this part of the bush.
