1954 Map of Livengood C-2

About this map

The White Mountains dominate the eastern reaches of this interior Alaskan landscape, surveyed in the mid-1950s using aerial photography. This territory is defined by its complex drainage systems, where the meandering Beaver Creek winds through the valley floor, eventually flanked by high peaks like VABM 3120 Beaver. Small, isolated signs of human activity appear in the form of a Cabin along the creek bank, suggesting the seasonal presence of trappers or explorers in a region otherwise ruled by the elements. To the west, the Tolovana River and Tatalina R carve through the terrain, fed by numerous tributaries including Bear Creek and Colorado Creek. The map provides an essential record of the physical geography before modern development, identifying critical survey points such as VABM 2526 Duncan and VABM 1166 Creek that served as the backbone for mapping this wilderness.
