1952 Map of Livengood D-5

About this map

The Yukon River carves a massive path through the center of this subarctic wilderness, serving as the primary geographic anchor for the region during the early 1950s. On its eastern bank, the Fort Hamlin (Site) marks the historical location of a river-bound outpost, situated just downstream from the sprawling Chetlechak Island. The landscape transitions from the braided river channels and low-lying marshes of Theodore Island in the north to the rising elevations of the Fort Hamlin Hills in the west. South of the main river bend, a solitary Cabin is noted near the mouth of Hamlin Creek. The southern portion of the map is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Waldron Creek and Mastodon Creek, which cut through high ridges marked by triangulation stations such as Vabm 2736 Waldron and Vabm 2198 Hess.
