1958 Map of Lime Hills C-4

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Glacial ice and high-altitude terrain dominate this 1950s environment, where the South Buttress stands as a primary landmark amidst a landscape of unnamed peaks and ridges. The drainage system is defined by the Swift River and its major tributary, the North Fork Swift River, which cut through the southwestern and central portions of the quadrangle. These waterways are fed by numerous meltwater streams and are surrounded by large areas of marshland and muskeg in the lower elevations. Because much of the territory remained unsurveyed and unmarked at the time of this mapping, the land lines provided by the Bureau of Land Management were predetermined based on the Seward Meridian rather than ground-level verification. The result is a study of a largely untouched Alaskan wilderness in the mid-20th century, where topography was still being meticulously recorded through photogrammetric methods from aerial photographs taken in 1954 and 1957.
