The Livingston Creek is a gold mine located in Alaska.
About the MRDS Data:
All mine locations were obtained from the USGS Mineral Resources Data System. The locations and other information in this database have not been verified for accuracy. It should be assumed that all mines are on private property.
Mine Info
Satelite View
MRDS mine locations are often very general, and in some cases are incorrect. Some mine remains have been covered or removed by modern industrial activity or by development of things like housing. The satellite view offers a quick glimpse as to whether the MRDS location corresponds to visible mine remains.

Comments
Comment (Workings): Workings / Exploration = Some exploration probably accompanied the staking of placer mining claims on the creek.
Comment (Geology): Age = Holocene.
Comment (Reference): Primary Reference = Heiner and Porter, 1972
Comment (Deposit): Model Name = Placer Au (Cox and Singer, 1986; model 39a).
Comment (Geology): Geologic Description = Livingston Creek has had placer mining claims over its lower 3 miles (Heiner and Porter, 1972, p. 162). The creek mostly flows over glacial deposits derived from the Kigluaik Mountains (Sainsbury, Smith, and Kachadoorian, 1972). Any placer gold deposits that are present are probably reworked glacial deposits.
Comment (Exploration): Status = Probably inactive
