Alaska Mapping Detachment Posts Progress and Prospects
The 1929 Alaska aerial mapping detachment spent a weekend in Petersburg en route to Ketchikan and Seattle, with one plane to return if weather permits. The expedition, despite heavy weather, logged 75 days in Alaska with only 10 ideal mapping days, and discovered a lake behind Fak ul Inlet with power potential imagined for water development, possibly prompting a new northern expedition next year. Commodore E A Bezanson and Dr A B Jones attended, while family news reported a new daughter Colleen Patricia and Carlson’s bakery gift mix inadvertently shared.
