2017 Map of Livengood C-5 NE

About this map

The Alaska Pipeline and the Dalton Highway dominate the interior landscape of the Yukon-Koyukuk region, following a similar north-south path through this wilderness. This corridor represents the critical infrastructure of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, providing access to the North Slope. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage basins, most notably Hess Cr which flows westward across the southern half of the map. Its tributaries, including Richardson Cr and Mastodon Cr to the north, create a complex network of valleys and ridges. The map illustrates the specialized relationship between industrial engineering and the subarctic environment, where the pipeline is carefully routed through specific topographic passes to maintain its integrity across the varying elevations.
