1954 Map of Lime Hills D-7

About this map

Cheeneetnuk River meanders across this interior Alaskan landscape, characterized by intricate drainage patterns and significant elevation changes. Topography for this area was captured through photogrammetric methods from aerial photography taken in 1953, providing a detailed look at the unsurveyed and unmarked land lines as predetermined by the Bureau of Land Management. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the main river and its relationship with Shoeleather Creek in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. With no roads or trails recorded at the time of field annotation in 1954, this survey represents the wilderness state of the region before any modern infrastructure or permanent settlements were established. The map serves as a primary record of the natural hydrology and topographical contours within the Seward Meridian.
