2017 Map of Livengood C-3 NW

About this map

The Hess Cr drainage network dominates this interior Alaskan landscape within the Livengood region. This 2017 survey details a remote watershed where the main stem of Hess Cr is joined by the N Fork Hess Cr and S Fork Hess Cr. The terrain is characterized by a dense system of tributary streams including Bear Cr, Wolf Cr, and Moose Cr to the east, while Wilson Cr and McHugh Cr flow through the western sections. The absence of roads or established settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, showing a landscape defined entirely by its natural hydrology and high-elevation relief. Geologists and surveyors have carefully mapped the intersecting headwaters of Patterson Cr and California Cr, providing a precise record of the upland drainage patterns that feed into the larger river systems of the Alaska interior.
