1952 Map of Livengood D-2

About this map

Noordor Dome stands as a prominent high point in this interior Alaskan landscape, which was documented through photogrammetric methods in the early 1950s. The topography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including West Fork Beaver Creek in the north and the winding path of Victoria Creek to the south. A single isolated Cabin appears along a small tributary in the southeast, representing a rare sign of human presence in a region otherwise dominated by natural features. The map also records the location of a Pingo, a characteristic permafrost landform. This survey provides a window into the remote terrain north of Fairbanks as it remained during the mid-century, divided by the Fairbanks Meridian and bounded by landmarks such as Granite and Ronald. Drainage patterns from Bear Creek, Lost Creek, and Grouse Creek illustrate the complex watershed of the Yukon-Koyukuk region.
