SURVEY REPORT FOR
FISCAL YEAR, OUT
DEPARTMENT COVERS TREMEND
OUS FIELD DURING FEW
MONTHS ALLOTED
One of the outstanding accomplish
ments of the United States Cc*.st
1 J i
and Geodetic Survey during the past
year was the hydrographic work done
i in Southeastern Alaska, according to!
! the annual report of Colonel E. Les
i
ter Jones, a copy of which has reached
The Gateway office. The report covers
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1927.
j Another outstanding accomplish
! ment, the report states, was the sur
vey work done along the Oregon and
Washington coast*.
Colonel Jones, in his report, says:
“In Southeastern Alaska, the sur
vey ship Surveyor obtained over 20,000
soundings and fully surveyed an area
of 1,255 square miles along the out
side coast, extending as far Nortn as
Lituya Bay. This was an original sur
vey of the area involving trianguiatica
control, topography, and inshore hy- '
drography along the shore, as well as j
offshore hydrography. The party on
the Surveyor completed a survey of
the coast of Southeastern Alaska from
the international boundary at Dixon
Entrance to Lituya Bay.
“This illustrates what can be done
by modern survey ships and by the
new methods which have been adopted
in recent years. Not only is the work
being done more economically than
ever before, but the government i3
giving to all marine interests mu"h
needed charts and other nautical da
ta that are alone responsible for the
reduction in loss of life and property
at sea.”
The report states that it is planned
to complete the compilation of seven
new charts of Alaskan waters during
the present year, and to reconstru t
two other Alaska charts, in conloimi
ty with the latest survey data.
Detailing the activities of the Sur
vey in Alaska during the fiscal year,
Colonel Jones says.
“Surveys begun during the previous
year in Southeastern Alaska were com!
pleted in the following localities: Pt.
Alexander, Pybus Bay, Kaigani Strait,
Port Refugio. In various sections of;
the main ship channels supplemental
wire-drag examinations were finished. ;
Additional surveys were completed in
Red Bluff Bay, Warm Spring Bay, Te
bink of Bay, Gedney Harbor, Port Lu- !
cy, Port Herbert, Deep Cove, Patter
son Bay, in Chatham Strait off Cape
I Ommaney, along Baronof Island from
Point Herbert to Point Patterson, and
along Kuiu Island from Point Harris
to Point Ellis. A base line of second
order accuracy was measured near
Killisnoo.”
“The survey previously inaugurated
on the outer cod!st was extended from
Cross Sound to Lituya Bay and off
shore for 50 miles to depths of 1,000
[ fathoms, including the location of all
[ fishing banks in that area. This work
| completes the original survey of the
| outer coast of Southeastern Alaska.’*
| “In western Alaska the survey of
! Shuyak Strait, including Red Fox and
, /
i Blue Fox Bays, was finished.”
i
| “At the close of the year additional
[ surveys were in progress in Baldy
| Bay, Tlevak Strait, Klawak Inlet,
j Evans Bay and Drier Bay. The pro
J gram for extending original surveys
