1953 Map of Livengood B-4

About this map

The Tolovana River meanders through this interior Alaska landscape, creating a complex drainage network that includes Vigor Creek and Shorty Creek. Dominating the southern terrain is Hot Springs Dome, which rises above a localized Hot Springs site. This 1950s mapping project captures a transitional period of interior development, evidenced by the presence of the Elliott Hy in the northeastern corner near Livengood Creek. While established infrastructure like the highway appears, the map also documents the ephemeral nature of subarctic industry, noting Mine Tailings and an Airstrip (Aband). A network of Tractor Trail segments provides the primary overland access to isolated Cabin and Cabins locations, reflecting the era's reliance on specialized vehicles for navigating the permafrost and drainage basins of the Alaska-Fourth Judicial Division.
