1952 Map of Livengood C-4

About this map

Livengood serves as the focal point of human activity in this northern interior landscape, situated near the confluence of Livengood Creek and Lillian Creek. The 1950s era of resource extraction is evident through the presence of tailings and a persistent ditch network carved into the hillsides. Transportation in this remote region is anchored by the Elliott Highway and a local landing strip, reflecting the isolation and specialized infrastructure required for subarctic settlement. The terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks, including Ready Bullion Creek and Alder Gulch, which flow around prominent landmarks like Money Knob. This survey captures a specific moment in the territory's history where mining operations and the nascent highway system began to permanently alter the drainage patterns of Hess Creek and its many tributaries.
