About this map

Livengood serves as the central hub of this interior Alaska landscape, situated where Livengood Road meets the valley floor. The settlement is defined by its placement between the high ground of Livengood Dome to the northwest and Amy Dome to the south. The drainage pattern revealed here is dense with gold-mining history, as evidenced by the numerous named gulches and creeks that feed into the larger water systems. To the north, Helen Gulch and Snow Gulch descend toward the valley, while May Gulch and Glen Gulch flank the main settlement area.

Water management and topographic relief are the primary features of this quadrangle, with Livengood Cr and Goldstream Cr carving paths through the terrain. The map details a network of smaller tributaries like Lucille Cr, Amy Cr, and Gertrude Cr, which suggest a landscape heavily utilized for resource extraction. The northern boundary is marked by the S Fork Hess Cr, indicating the reach of the local watershed across the interior wilderness.
