1956 Map of Livengood D-6

About this map

The Yukon River carves a winding path through this interior landscape, defining the topography south of the Fort Hamlin Hills. In this mid-century survey, the river is a network of braids and islands, including Sightas Island, Kalka Island, and Crescent Island. The confluence with the Hess River and Big Salt Creek reveals a complex marshy lowland that contrasts with the surrounding high ground. Isolated human presence is marked by a single Cabin and the landing at Woodcamp, illustrating the sparse settlement pattern typical of the Yukon-Koyukuk region before modern infrastructure. The terrain rises sharply to the east toward Smoothface Mountain, with interior drainage provided by Isom Creek and Ray Creek. The map also identifies triangulation stations such as VABM 602 Kon and VABM 2306 Lynx, which served as the primary geodetic control points for this remote wilderness mapping effort.
