2019 Map of Lime Hills D-2 SW

About this map

Post River flows across the northern edge of this remote Alaskan interior landscape, which is defined by significant elevation changes and glacial valley formations within the Bethel Census Area. The central and eastern portions of the map are dominated by the winding course of Fish Creek, which carves through a series of steep drainages as it moves toward the south and west. This 2019 survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, uses high-resolution data to detail the intricate hydrological network of unnamed streams and high mountain ridges that characterize the Alaska Range. The Absence of named settlements or infrastructure highlights the raw, undeveloped state of this territory, where the topography itself is the primary record of the land. It remains a crucial document for those studying the natural history and hydrologic patterns of the Lime Hills region.
