1956 Map of Livengood

About this map

Livengood stands as a central mining and transportation hub in this mid-century portrait of the Alaskan interior. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Yukon River and the Tatalina River, where early aviation and overland travel intersect. Significant gold-mining activity is evident near the Steese Highway at the southern edge, where numerous camps such as Pedro Camp, Cleary, and Meehan clustered along the creeks. The map documents the remnants of early river commerce at the Fort Hamlin (Site) and the industrial footprint of the era through extensive Tractor Trails and Winter Trails.
