1958 Map of Lime Hills B-2

About this map

Snowcap Mountain dominates the high-altitude topography of this interior landscape, marking a terrain of significant glaciation and vertical relief. Surveyed in the late 1950s, the map reveals a wilderness where the Kenai Peninsula Borough boundary meets an environment defined by the Stony River and the Necons River. These waterways carve through deep valleys between high peaks, their paths often influenced by the active glacial features above. Numerous areas of crevasses are explicitly marked, indicating the presence of living glaciers that shaped the drainage basins. This 1:63,360 scale study, derived from aerial photography, illustrates a remote region void of roads or permanent settlements at the time of the survey, documenting the raw hydrography of the Alaska Range before modern developmental pressures.
