1958 Map of Lime Hills D-2

About this map

The Terra Cotta Mountains dominate this interior Alaskan landscape, creating a dramatic corridor for the glacial drainage systems that define the region. This 1958 field-annotated survey reveals a wilderness defined by its waterways, where the Post River and Hartman River converge amidst high-elevation terrain. The absence of roads or trails on this sheet, as noted in the 1977 minor revisions, underscores the isolation of the area during the mid-20th century. Notable topographical transitions occur at Strand Pass, providing a natural gateway between the drainage of Fish Creek and the larger river valleys. To the northeast, Boulder Creek carves through the slopes, illustrating the intricate network of tributaries that feed this part of the Lime Hills quadrangle.
