1951 Map of Lime Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Alaska Range dominates the eastern landscape of this interior survey, where the glacial headwaters of several major river systems converge. Steep terrain gives way to the broad, braided valleys of the Stony River and the Swift River, which cut through the namesake Lime Hills. At this mid-century point, the area remained largely inaccessible by road, defined instead by mountain crossings like Merrill Pass and Sled Pass. These corridors provided critical passage through the high peaks for travelers moving between the South Fork Kuskokwim River drainage and the Cook Inlet watersheds. Scattered signs of human presence are limited to isolated outposts such as a Cabin near Two Lakes, reflecting the extreme isolation of the region before modern infrastructure. The map captures the complex hydrology of the western mountain front, including the winding courses of the Big River and Hartman River.
