1954 Map of Lime Hills A-6

About this map

The Stony River cuts through the northern reaches of this Alaskan interior landscape, where a cluster of Cabins suggests a small pocket of human activity amidst the wilderness. To the west, the water of Salmon Berry Lake sits in a basin near the prominence of Side. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and drainage systems, including the confluence of Hook Creek and Can Creek which flow through the central and southern valleys. Landmarks like Whitefish SE Base in the southeast and named peaks such as Hook and Bear provide points of reference for the unmarked land lines predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management. This mid-century survey by the Army Map Service captures the area before modern infrastructure, documenting a landscape primarily accessible by river and trail.
