UNITED STATES GEOGRAPHIC
BOARD APPROVES SOCIETY’S
SELECTIONS.
Number of Men Honored
Mountains, Lake and Falls Explored
In Region of Katmai Na
tional Monument.
WASHINGTON, I). C., Sept. 1. (/P)
—The decision announced by the
United States Geographic Board after
its last meetings of the summer in
clude the adoption for use on all
government maps of the last ten
names bestowed by Dr. Robert F.
Griggs, leader of the National Geo
graphic Society’s Alaska expeditions,
on natural features explored and sur
veyed in the Katmai national monu
ment region.
These names, which have already
appeared on the maps published by
the National Geographic Society but
which now are to appear for the
first time on government maps of
Alaska, are: Lake Grosvenor, Lake
Coville, Mount LaGorce, Bay of
Islands, Brooks Falls, Lake Brooks,
Fultons Falls, Hagelbargers Pass,
Martin Creek and Mount Martin.
Two Noteworthy Lakes.
Lake Grosvenor and Lake Coville,
named for Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor,
president of the National Geographic
Society, and for Dr. Frederick V.
Coville, chairman of the society’s re
search committee, >'e to the north
east cf the Katmai Mo. rmnnt.
Lake Grosvenor is twenty-eight
miles long and has been described
.jv surveyors as the most beautiful
body of wa-er in this part of Lh
Alaska peninsula. It is shut in on all
sides by high, forest-clad mountains,
but may be reached by an easy
portage of a mile and a half from
Savonoski River, which flows into
Iliuk Arm.
Lake Coville is also surrounded by
mountains which rise to 3,000 feet.
It is connected with Lake Grosvenor
by a short, swift stream.
Mount LaGorce, named in honor of
John Oliver LaGorce, vice president
of theNational Geographic Society,
is on imposing peak rising to a
height of 3,315 feet just within the
limits of the Katmai National
Monument, and overlooking Iliuk
Arm to the South, Bay of Islands to
the North and Lake Grosvenor to
me n,asi.
Studded with Granite Islets.
Bay of Islands is an arm of
Naknek Lake, lying to the north of
Katmai National Monument. It is a
beautiful body of water studded with
more than one hundred forest-cdad
granite islets.
Lake Brooks lies to the south of
Naknek Lake and is separated from
the latter by a high mountain. It
drains into Naknek by a short
swift river, which tumbles over a
ledge about seven feet high, form
ing Brooks Falls. It was at this
Tall that members of one of the
society’s expeditions observed the
salmon leaping upstream over the
•ledge at the rate of 1,200 an hour.
It was estimated that a million fish
were breeding above the falls. Both
the lake and the falls are named in
honor of the late Dr. Alfred H.
Brooks, chief Alaskan geologist of
the United States Geological Survey,
and a pioneer in Alaska exploration.
Fultons Falls, which occur on a
tributary of Katmai River, have
been so named in recognition of the
work of Bentley B. Fulton, entomol
ogist of the Oregon Agricultural
College, at Corvallis. Mr. Fulton,
formerly a student under Dr. Robert
F. Griggs, did especially valuable
wTork during the season of 1915.
Found Geographic Harbor Route
Hagelbargers Pass was found by
Paul R. Hagelbarger, who was a
member of the 1917, 1918 and 1919
expeditions. In 1919 Dr. Grigs de
tailed him to try to find a feasible
route from Geographic Harbor (the
natural haven for future visitors) to
the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.
He and one companion no only
found the pass, which now bears his
name, at an elevation of 1,000 feet),
but with William N. Heming sur
veyed all of the peninsula lying be
tween Geographic Harbor and Kinak
i'
Bay. It is hoped that some day ail
automobile highway will go over
this pass, opening up the natural
marvels of this region to the outside
world.
Martin Creek and Mount Martin, a
conspicuous volcano near the south
west corner of the monument, were
named by Dr. Griggs in honor of
George C. Martin, who led the
National Geographic Society’s first
expedition to the Katmai region
shortly after the cataclysmic erup
tion of Katmai volcano in June, 1912.
