1951 Map of Lime Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Hungry Village and the high peaks of the Alaska Range define this mid-century portrait of a vast, roadless interior. The landscape is dominated by the massive drainage systems of the Stony River and the South Fork Kuskokwim River, which carve through the Lime Hills and surrounding lowlands. This survey documents a wilderness accessible primarily by water or air, showing only isolated cabins and traditional indigenous settlements near Salmon Berry Lake and the various forks of the Big River. Significant mountain landmarks like Snowcap Mountain and Cairn Mountain rise above the river valleys, while Merrill Pass and Sied Pass suggest the natural corridors used for travel across the divide. The map also delineates the administrative boundary between the Fourth and Third Judicial Divisions, providing a spatial record of Alaskan governance before statehood.
