1958 Map of Lime Hills C-1

About this map

South Fork Kuskokwim River defines the western edge of this Alaskan landscape, captured during aerial surveys in the mid-1950s. The topography is dominated by dramatic elevation changes, where the glacial drainage systems of the Styx River and Crystal Creek carve through the high terrain. This 1:63,360 scale study provides a precise look at the hydrography of the region before any modern development, centering on remote water features like Jimmy Lake. The map represents a purely natural environment, devoid of roads, trails, or man-made settlements at the time of field annotation in 1958, highlighting the raw geography of the Bethel area.
