1954 Map of Livengood C-3

About this map

The settlement of Livengood serves as the focal point of this mid-1950s interior Alaska landscape, situated at the base of Livengood Dome. The map illustrates a region defined by its historic gold mining activity, evidenced by features such as the Heine Creek Aqueduct and the presence of Tailings and various Mine sites. The drainage pattern is complex, with Goldstream Creek and Hess Creek carving through the high country. Prospecting history is etched into the names of the small tributaries, including Discovery Pup, Lucky Gulch, and May Gulch, which feed into larger systems like California Creek and Patterson Creek. This period of topographic mapping reveals the infrastructure required for sub-arctic resource extraction, including the prominent Ditch network and trails that connect remote camps to the central hub near Amy Dome.
