2019 Map of Lime Hills D-3 NW

About this map

Lyman Fork winds through this high-elevation Alaskan landscape, carving a deep valley through the northern reaches of the Bethel Census Area. The terrain is defined by extreme relief and complex drainage patterns, where steep ridgelines descend toward the watercourse from elevations exceeding 6,000 feet. The absence of roads or permanent structures within the boundaries of t22n r26w and t21n r26w highlights the untouched nature of this subarctic wilderness in the early 21st century. Instead of human development, the map reveals the intricate natural geometry of glacial valleys and alpine streams, providing a clear record of the area's geomorphology before any modern encroachment. Researchers interested in the hydrology of the Kuskokwim River watershed can trace the headwaters of the Lyman Fork as they gather from the surrounding peaks.
