1954 Map of Livengood C-3

About this map

Gold mining operations and technical infrastructure dominate this mid-century topographic study of the Interior Alaska landscape. Located near the prominent Livengood Dome, the map highlights the industrial heritage of the region through marked Mine sites and extensive Tailings deposits along the valley floors. The complex hydrology of the area is represented by an intricate network of waterways, including the North Fork and South Fork tributaries, alongside man-made features like the Ditch and Heine Creek aqueduct systems designed for hydraulic mining. Numerous named gulches and pups, such as Helen Gulch and Discovery Pup, indicate a history of localized prospecting and extraction. High elevation landmarks like Amy Dome provide a clear perspective on the watershed that feeds into Hess Creek and the surrounding drainages of Patterson Creek and Wolf Creek.
