    Index of Surface-Water Records to September 30, 1967 Alaska By H. P. Eisenhuth - . GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR 585 Washington 1968 United States Department of the Interior STEWART L. UDALL, Secretary Geological Survey William T. Pecora, Director Free on application to the U.S. Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. 20242 Index of Surface-Water Records to September 30, 1967 Alaska By H. P. Eisenhuth INTRODUCTION This report lists the streamflow stations in Alaska for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods through September 30, 1967. It supersedes Geological Survey Circular 516. Basic data on surface-water supply of Alaska have been published in bulletins or water-supply papers of the Geological Survey or in reports of other agencies, Water-Supply Paper 1372 contains a summary of monthly and annual discharges through September 1945 for all previously published records, as well as records of daily and monthly discharges for the water years 1946-50 which had not been published previously. For the water years 1951-60, data have been published in water-supply papers as shown in the following list. Water year -WSP Water year -WSP 1951-53. ................. 1466 1958. ...................1570 1959. ...................1640 1960. ................... 1720 Beginning in 1961, theannual seriesof water-supplypapers on surface-water supply was changed to a 5-year series, the first of which will be fox 1961-65. In order to meet interim.yequirements, beginning in 1961, the Alaska district issues a report annually containing streamflow records for Alaska. In addition to the continuous-record gaging stations, this index includes crest-stage and low-flow partial-record stations, A continuous-record station is a gaging station on a stream or reservoir for which the discharge, stage, or contents is published on a daily, weekly, ormonthly basis for a continuous period of time.

  • The Kougarok-Region
    THE KOUGAROK-REGION. By ALFRED EL BROOKS. INTRODUCTION. "Kougarok district" is the name" generally given to an auriferous gravel region lying in the central part of Seward Peninsula and drained, for the most part, by Kougarok River. This paper will describe, besides the drainage basin of the Kougarok, the other gold- bearing streams tributary to Kuzitrin River. Investigations were begun in this field in 1900 by the writer,6 assisted by A. J. Collier, soon after the first actual discovery of workable placers, and were extended by Mr. Collier 0 in the following year. In 1903 the district was reexamined by Messrs. Collier and Hess, who prepared a state­ ment for a report not yet in print.d The writer was again in this field in 1906, spending about ten days in visiting some of the more important localities. The notes of Messrs. Collier and Hess have been freely drawn upon, but for the conclusions here advanced the writer is alone responsible. All of the surveys thus far made have been preliminary, and the data obtained leave much to be desired, both as to the details of the geology and the distribution of the placer gold. TOPOGRAPHY. The northwestern front of the Bendeleben Mountains slopes off to a lowland basin, 20 miles long and 10 miles wide. On the southwest the basin walls gradually approach each other and finally constrict the valley to a width of about 3 miles, but 10 miles below it opens out again to fche low ground encircling the east end of Imuruk Basin, or Salt Lake, as it is popularly called.

  • 2020 Agluktuk Summer
    THE AGLUKTUK Summer 2020 BLM conveys lands to BSNC Lands could support infrastructure development at Pt. Spencer An historic milestone was reached when the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) signed a final patent transferring more than 2,000 acres of Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) land at Point Spencer, adjacent to Port Clarence, to BSNC on July 30. The lands and adjacent waters of Port Clarence have served as a port of refuge for people of the Bering Strait region for centuries and the site holds important strategic geopolitical as well as historic ancestral and cultural significance. “On behalf of the BSNC Board of Directors, shareholders and descendants, I express our deep appreciation for those who helped make this land conveyance a reality,” said BSNC President & CEO Gail R. Schubert. “As our country prepares to defend our shores in the Arctic, we hope that this port will once again stand as a beacon of safety and security in service to our great nation.” The U.S. Coast Guard Authorization Act of Feb. 8, 2016 authorized conveyance of lands at Point Spencer to BSNC and the State of Alaska, in concert with the Coast Guard’s need to retain jurisdiction of portions of the site. According to the legislation, the lands Continued on back page BSNC President & CEO Gail R. Schubert holds the final patent to land at Point Spencer.
