1952 Map of Livengood B-5

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Sawtooth Mountain dominates the western landscape of this interior Alaskan wilderness, as mapped during the early 1950s. The region is defined by a complex drainage network where the Mud Fork of Hess Creek and the West Fork Tolovana River carve through the high terrain. Human presence is sparse and temporary, evidenced only by an isolated Landing Strip and a Cabin situated near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This era of exploration relied heavily on overland routes, shown here by a series of Tractor Trails and pack trails that cut across the valleys of Starvation Creek and Moose Creek. The mapping reflects a landscape in transition, where land lines represent unsurveyed locations predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management, capturing the raw geography of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before significant modern development.
