HARRY NELSON, MERCHANT TAILOR
ALASKA SECOND
IN SURVEYS OF
PUBLIC DOMAIN
• _ +_
Survey work for homesteads has
taken a much wider scope in Alaska
than is generally known, and out of
the $700,000 a year allotted by the
Department of the Interior for the
work, Alaska, for the past several
years has been exceeded in the
amount received only by the state of
Montana.
; Until four years ago Alaska receiv
ed $25,000 a year and since that time
due to the efforts of the field forces
in Alaska and their needs, it has been
getting $50,000 a year, with a few
“Extras”, and secured one special ap
propriation of $100,000 for a survey
of the coal fields in Nenana and Mat
| anuska. Last year the appropriation
for Montana was $55,000 and for Alas
; ka it was $52,000.
1 In an interview recently with J. P.
* Walker, assistant supervisor of sur
veys for the General Land Office, it
! was learned that three principal mer
idians have been run for laying out
townships, the Fairbanks base mer
idian in 1910, the Seward base mer
idian in 1911 and the Copper river
base meridian in 1905. Most states
have but one base meridian but the
greatest distance in Alaska made it
practical and the most economical
to make three base lines.
Forty townships have been run on
the Fairbanks base line, from nine
miles east of Fairbanks to 18 miles
north and in a southwesterly direc
tion along the Tanana river and rail
road to Tanana, and southerly along
the railroad to Lignite Creek, and
thence easterly to the Nenana fields.
f Under the Copper river base line
- five townships and also eight frac
tions were completed, from Copper:
Center to the Bering river coal fields.1
Under the Copper river base line
ships were sectionized up the Resur
rection valley seven, miles north of
Seward and then a jump was made
by triangulation to Cook Inlet where
rectangular surveys w'ere made ad-!
joining the Government railroad from
Turnagain Arm to Talkeetna, and up
the Matanuska valley and railway to
the Matanuska coal fields. Another
jump by triangulation was made to
Ketchamak Bay, where the land was
sectionized by Kaisilof, which area
comprises good agricultural land un
derlaid by a good grade of lignite
coal. The area under this meridian
includes 83 townships and fractional
townships. A distance of 161 miles
of the government rgilroad was sec
tionized.
Twelve fractional townships were
surveyed in the Chilkat valley, South
eastern Alaska in 1919, by jumping
the triangulation from the Copper
river base line. These surveys run
from a line at Seduction Point up the
narrow valley a distance of ten miles
to Klukwan. Each fraction surveyed
forms the rich land which has pro
duced the famous Haines strawberry
and other veketables. The majority
of the surveys in Southeastern Alaska
have been made as isolated surveys
and not connected with any base line,
and they were made before the base ;
lines were established.
In the future policy of the land of
fice will be to extend the rectangular ,
system of surveys covering small val
leys wherever possible by making use
of the triangular stations established
by the Coast and Geodetic Survey.
There will, of course, be cases where
the isolated surveys will have to be
continued, where it may be possible
to extend the rectangular surveys.
