OverviewExcerpt from The Ellamar District, Alaska The mining district in the vicinity Of Ellamar lies at the northeast border Of Prince William Sound and includes a part of the mainland, about half Of Bligh Island, and a number Of smaller islands. Prince William Sound is a large embayment in the north-central part of the Gulf Of Alaska, which is that part of the north Pacific Ocean that is inclosed by the great crescent of coast line between Kodiak Island and Sitka. The area covered by this report lies between latitude 60 52' and 60 58' N. And longitude 146 29' and 146 51' W., and includes about 65 square miles Of land. Its position with relation to Prince William Sound as a whole is shown in figure 1. The area shown in the topographie map (pl. 1, in pocket) is here called the Ellamar district, Ellamar being the Oldest and largest white settlement within it and the Ellamar mine one Of the Oldest and most productive mines on the sound and the most effective agency in bringing this district into prominence. The district as here mapped includes the shores Of Landlocked, Boulder, Virgin, and Galena bays and Tatitlek Narrows, and the northeastern half Of Bligh Island. Earlier maps of this area, showing the shore line and something Of the topography, have already been published, but they have all been on a relatively small scale, and were drawn primarily for use in naviga tion. The topographic map that accompanies this report (pl. I), on a scale Of 1 to is by far the most accurate and complete map yet published Of the area which it covers and shows not only the relative position Of the land and water but the shape Of the land surface. It has been used as the base for the geologic map (pl. II). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
