1954 Map of Lime Hills A-4

About this map

Stony River meanders across this mid-century Alaskan interior landscape, joined by the Telaquana River in a complex network of braids and oxbow lakes. This terrain, documented by the Army Map Service in the early 1950s, reveals a wild drainage system where Tunkalashna Creek and Eagle Mountain Creek feed into the broader valley from the surrounding heights. Distinctive landmarks such as Necong and Slope provide navigational reference points in an area defined by its hydrology rather than human infrastructure. The lack of roads or established trails on the sheet emphasizes the isolation of the Lime Hills region during this era, making it an essential reference for understanding the natural state of the Rock Creek watershed before later development or environmental changes altered these watercourses.
