1954 Map of Lime Hills D-8

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Meandering glacial watercourses define this interior Alaskan landscape as it was documented by the U.S. Geological Survey using aerial photography from the early 1950s. The region is dominated by three major hydrological systems: the Tatlawaksuk River in the north, the winding Cheeneetnuk River through the center, and the Swift River to the south. These braided channels cut through a terrain of numerous small lakes and marshlands, illustrating a drainage pattern characteristic of the Lime Hills region. The absence of roads or established settlements reflects the isolation of the territory at the time of the 1954 field annotation, providing a clear view of the natural hydrology before any modern human encroachment.
