1954 Map of Lime Hills D-8

About this map

Tatlawiksuk River meanders across the northern portion of this 1950s interior landscape, defining a region characterized by extensive wetlands and complex drainage patterns. The territory, as documented by the Geological Survey during this era, remains largely untouched by roads or permanent settlements. South of the Tatlawiksuk, the Cheeneetnuk River carves a winding path through the center of the sheet, while the Swift River cuts across the southwestern corner. The mapping reveals a landscape of transition, where low-lying swampy terrain meets isolated upland ridges. These watercourses served as the primary natural corridors for movement through the unsurveyed and unmarked lands of the Seward Meridian, long before any modern infrastructure altered the drainage of the Kuskokwim River basin area.
