1958 Map of Lime Hills

About this map

Lime Village sits at the heart of this interior landscape, positioned along the banks of the Stony River where it winds through the foothills of the Alaska Range. The region's isolation is punctuated by the Sparrevohn Air Force Station and the Whitefish Mountain Mine, reflecting the strategic and extractive interests of the mid-20th century. Glacial activity is evident in the Stony Glacier and the numerous named lakes like Tundra Lake and Salmon Berry Lake. High altitude passes such as Merrill Pass and Sled Pass offer the only logical routes through the daunting terrain of the Terra Cotta Mountains and the Teocalli Mountains. The drainage patterns are defined by the Swift River and the Kuskokwim River South Fork, which carve through a wilderness of named peaks including Mount Mausolus and Twin Sisters Peak.
