1954 Map of Lime Hills A-5

About this map

The Stony River winds through this interior Alaskan wilderness, as documented by the Army Map Service using aerial photography from the 1950s. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the Lime Hills, where major glacial tributaries like Underhill Creek and Rock Creek feed into the primary river system. This survey represents a remote region largely untouched by permanent settlement or infrastructure, showing the natural state of the terrain before later developments. Notable landmarks include the expansive Hidden River Lake in the north and the southern drainage of Can Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the alluvial patterns and high-altitude contours of this subarctic environment during a period of intensive USGS mapping across the Alaska Territory.
