Name of creator(s): Will Crary; Nan Henderson; Phinney S. Hunt; Miles Bros.; Lyman; George C. Cantwell; Johnson; L. G. Robertson; Lillie N. Gordon; John E. Worden; W. A. Henderson; H. Schultz; Merl LaVoy; Guy F. Cameron; Eric A. Hegg Administrative/Biographical History: The Crary and Henderson Families lived and worked in the Valdez area during the boom times of the early 1900s. William Halbrook Crary was a prospector and newspaper man born in the 1870s (may be 1873 or 1876). William and his brother Carl N. Crary came to Valdez in 1898. Will was a member of the prospecting party of the Arctic Mining Company; Carl was the captain of the association. The Company staked the “California Placer Claim” on Slate Creek and worked outside of Valdez on the claim. Slate Creek is a tributary of the Chitina River, in the Chistochina District of the Copper River Basin. Will Crary was the first townsite trustee for Valdez. Carl later worked in the pharmaceutical field in Valdez and was also the postmaster. Will married schoolteacher Nan Fitch in Valdez in 1906. Carl died of cancer in 1927 in Portland, Oregon.

  • Alaska Range
    Alaska Range Introduction The heavily glacierized Alaska Range consists of a number of adjacent and discrete mountain ranges that extend in an arc more than 750 km long (figs. 1, 381). From east to west, named ranges include the Nutzotin, Mentas- ta, Amphitheater, Clearwater, Tokosha, Kichatna, Teocalli, Tordrillo, Terra Cotta, and Revelation Mountains. This arcuate mountain massif spans the area from the White River, just east of the Canadian Border, to Merrill Pass on the western side of Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage. Many of the indi- Figure 381.—Index map of vidual ranges support glaciers.

Index glaciers range in size from tiny unnamed cirque glaciers with areas of less map modified from Field than 1 km2 to very large valley glaciers with lengths up to 76 km (Denton (1975a).

    NOAA Technical Report NOS CS 40 NOS COOK INLET OPERATIONAL FORECAST SYSTEM: MODEL DEVELOPMENT AND HINDCAST SKILL ASSESSMENT Silver Spring, Maryland September 2020 noaa National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Ocean Service Coast Survey Development Laboratory Office of Coast Survey National Ocean Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration U.S. Department of Commerce The Office of Coast Survey (OCS) is the Nation’s only official chartmaker. As the oldest United States scientific organization, dating from 1807, this office has a long history. Today it promotes safe navigation by managing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) nautical chart and oceanographic data collection and information programs. There are four components of OCS: The Coast Survey Development Laboratory develops new and efficient techniques to accomplish Coast Survey missions and to produce new and improved products and services for the maritime community and other coastal users. The Marine Chart Division acquires marine navigational data to construct and maintain nautical charts, Coast Pilots, and related marine products for the United States. The Hydrographic Surveys Division directs programs for ship and shore-based hydrographic survey units and conducts general hydrographic survey operations. The Navigational Services Division is the focal point for Coast Survey customer service activities, concentrating predominately on charting issues, fast-response hydrographic surveys, and Coast Pilot

  • R. L. Smith, H. R. Shaw, R. G. Luedke, and S. L. Russell U. S. Geological
    COMPREHENSIVE TABLES GIVING PHYSICAL DATA AND THERMAL ENERGY ESTIMATES FOR YOUNG IGNEOUS SYSTEMS OF THE UNITED STATES by R. L. Smith, H. R. Shaw, R. G. Luedke, and S. L. Russell U. S. Geological Survey OPEN-FILE REPORT 78-925 This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Geological Survey Standards and nomenclature INTRODUCTION This report presents two tables. The first is a compre­ hensive table of 157 young igneous systems in the western United States, giving locations, physical data, and thermal en­ ergy estimates, where apropriate, for each system. The second table is a list of basaltic fields probably less than 10,000 years old in the western United States. These tables are up­ dated and reformatted from Smith and Shaw's article "Igneous- related geothermal systems" in Assessment of geothermal re­ sources of the United States 1975 (USGS Circular 726, White and Williams, eds., 1975). This Open-File Report is a compan­ ion to Smith and Shaw's article "Igneous-related geothermal systems" in Assessment of geothermal resources in the United States 1978 (USGS Circular 790, Muffler, ed., 1979). The ar­ ticle in Circular 790 contains an abridged table showing only those igneous systems for which thermal estimates were made. The article also gives an extensive discussion of hydrothermal cooling effects and an explanation of the model upon which the thermal energy estimates are based. Thermal energy is calculated for those systems listed in table 1 that are thought to contribute significant thermal en­ ergy to the upper crust. As discussed by Smith and Shaw (1975), silicic volcanic systems are believed to be associated nearly always with high-level (<10 km) magma chambers.
