Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Very good. Light wear along original fold lines. Accompanied by Department of the Interior report. Size 22 x 22.5 Inches. This is a 1933 U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey geologic map of the Girdwood District in Alaska. The map accompanies a report published by the U.S. Department of the Interior commissioned to investigate mineral deposits in 9 different regions along the route of the Alaska Railroad. These studies hoped to discover deposits of sufficient magnitude that their exploitation would help the Alaska Railroad become profitable. Of the 9 districts, 5 were investigated for gold deposits, including Girdwood. A Closer Look The map depicts the region from the Alaska Railroad and the town of Girdwood north to the mouth of the Eagle River at Eagle Glacier. Several other glaciers are illustrated, along with Raven Creek and Magpie Creek. 7 'mines and prospects' are numerically identified, highlighting the 7 most likely locations for profitable gold mining in the area. Colors indicate different sedimentary rock formations and correspond with a key in the upper right corner. Three profile views of sections within the region appear along the left border. The Alaska Railroad The Alaska Railroad began as the Alaska Central Railroad, which started building a line north from Seward in 1903. The Alaska Central completed 50 miles of track before going bankrupt in 1907. The railroad was reorganized as the Alaska Northern Railroad Company in 1911 and succeeded in extending the line 21 miles farther north. The U.S. Congress purchased the railroad on March 12, 1914, after agreeing to construct a railroad from Seward to Fairbanks. The U.S. government completed construction of the railroad on July 15, 1923, and ownership passed from the U.S. government to the State of Alaska on January 6, 1985. Today, the railroad operates 656 miles of track, including the over 470-mile mainline from Seward to Fairbanks. The Alaska Railroad serves both Anchorage and Denali National Park. Publication History and Census This map was created and published by the United States Coast Survey in 1933, with geology done by Charles F. Park, Jr. and topography by Walter G. Carson. The separate map is not cataloged in OCLC, but the booklet is well represented in institutional collections.…
