1951 Map of Livengood D-3

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Hess Creek and its major tributary, the North Fork Hess Creek, dominate the drainage patterns of this sub-arctic landscape. This 1951 aerial photogrammetric survey reveals an undeveloped interior wilderness, where watercourses like Alfred Creek dictate the contours of the land. The presence of triangulation stations, specifically VABM Kermit and VABM North, suggests the necessity of elevated benchmarks for surveying this remote portion of the Alaskan interior. These markers served as the primary reference points for mapping the interior before the widespread use of satellite-based positioning. The map captures the territory as it existed prior to significant road development, showing only the natural hydrologic network and the high peaks that defined the early twentieth-century Alaskan frontier.
