1958 Map of Lime Hills C-2

About this map

South Fork Kuskokwim River flows through a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts and glacial activity as documented in this late-1950s study. The terrain is characterized by high alpine features, notably the presence of Crevasses in the upper elevations, indicating active ice movement during the era of the survey. The Hartman Fork enters from the west, cutting through the northern reaches of the quadrangle before joining the main river system. This map represents a period when much of the interior was mapped via photogrammetric methods from aerial photographs, capturing the remote geography before any established roads or trails were recorded. A significant passage through the high country is found at Sled Pass, a traditional route through the mountain barriers that separate the river drainage basins.
