CGS Mapped
1,200 Sq. Miles Of'
Alaska In 1958
WASHINGTON, Uf) — Another
1,200 square miles of Alaska’s
coastal waters were mapped this
summer by the Coast and Geo
detic Survey but the overall jab
is still less than half done.
The initial U. S. survey of Alas
kan waters began in 1867 while
negotiations for Alaska’s purchase
still were under way with Rus
sia.
There still remains, however,
more than a half million square
r s of the 100-million square
miles of the Pacific Ocean, Bering
Sea And Arctic Ocean surround
ing Alaska, which is unsurveyed
or inadequately surveyed accord
in Coast and Geodetic Survey
standards.
The recent six-month program
covered such areas as Kasan Bay,
C1 "'non strait, Sumner Strait,
the north shore of the Alaska Pen
insula, Soda Bay, Dutch Harbor
and barren Atka Island.
Five ships, manned by 260 offi
cers and men and equipped with
sonic sounding gear and electronic
navigation and surveying instru
ments, participated in the 1958
mapping program.
This year’s survey party aboard
the Fxplorer managed to master
the fog surrounding Amlia Is
land in the Aleutians with the use
of an electronic distance measur
ing device, the tellurometer, which
was field tested in the Aleutians
last year. The device permits the
measurement of distances by tim
ing of travel time for radio waves
between two such units.
