1952 Map of Livengood C-5

About this map

The Trans-Alaska Pipeline cuts a distinct path through this interior landscape during its 1970s construction phase, marking a major industrial shift in the wilderness. This survey is defined by the winding course of Hess Creek and the many tributaries that feed into it, including Troublesome Creek and the Mud Fork. While much of the terrain remains dominated by natural drainages like Richardson Creek and Mastodon Creek, the inclusion of the Elliott Highway on the eastern edge shows the primary artery connecting this remote region. In purple revisions from 1975, the map documents the physical footprint of the pipeline corridor, complete with associated Gravel Pits used for its development, providing a rare look at the infrastructure as it was being built.
