1958 Map of Lime Hills B-2

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Stony River and the Necons River dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, their braided channels cutting through a territory largely defined by high-elevation topography and permanent ice. Mapped from aerial photography taken in the mid-1950s, the sheet captures the transition from the river valleys to the high peaks of the Kenai Peninsula Borough boundary. Snowcap Mountain serves as a central landmark amidst a complex network of unnamed glaciers and crevasses that cover the eastern half of the quadrangle. The lack of roads or established trails highlights the isolation of this wilderness during the late 1950s, where the natural watercourses provided the primary routes for movement. The map preserves the exact positions of these shifting glacial features and river bends before decades of environmental change.
