Alaska Earthquake March 27, 1964. Shore near the head of Kings Bay swept bare of timber to an altitude of 110 feet by slide-generated local waves. Bare areas of rock on the spur in the right middle distance were scoured clean of the soil and muskeg cover. Kings Bay, Latouche District, Alaska Gulf Region, Alaska, 1964. Photo by George Plafker. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 542-G, Figure 15, p.G-26. 1969.
Alaska Earthquake March 27, 1964. Wave-damaged structures at the Port Nellie Juan cannery. A wave, which ran up to the snow trimline along the shore, damaged these structures, washed away the dock, and presumably drowned the three resident caretakers of the cannery. Photo by George Plafker, April 4, 1964. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 542-G, Figure 14, p.G-25. 1969.
Alaska Earthquake March 27, 1964. Segment of Hanning Bay fault trace on Montague Island, looking northeast showing surface flexure 3 to 5 feet high is broken by gaping sub-parallel right-handed en echelon cracks, 3 to 6 feet apart. Gullies that intersect the scarp at right angles show no evidence of lateral offset that would suggest strike-slip displacement. Arrow indicates location of photo no.119. Montague Island, Latouche District, Alaska Gulf Region, Alaska, 1964. Photo by G. Plafker. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 543-G, Figure 27, p.G28. 1967.
Alaska Earthquake March 27, 1964. Spur west of Shoup Bay in Port Valdez that was overtopped by a local wave traveling from right to left. Trees and branches are broken to an elevation of more than 100 feet above lower low water. Shoup Bay, Port Valdez, Valdez District, Alaska Gulf Region, Alaska, 1964. Photo by G. Plafker, 1964. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper, 542-G, Figure 2, p.G-13. 1969.
Alaska Earthquake March 27, 1964. Cordova, with port facilities rebuilt to compensate for the 6-foot tectonic uplift of the shoreline. Looking south, end of Eyak Lake and the Copper River Highway in left center and Cordova sawmill, destroyed by seismic sea waves toward upper right. The white angular patch lower right is new land made from material dredged from the deepened and enlarged small-boat basin. Photo by George Plafker. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 542-G, Figure 8, p.G-19. 1969.
Alaska Earthquake March 27, 1964. Debris avalanche on the peninsula between Ugak and Kiliuda Bays. A slide of Tertiary rocks from the 1,500-foot-high peak at upper right flowed into the uninhabited valley below at about 300-foot altitude where it spread out as a debris lobe roughly 1,500 feet across. The narrow streak of light-colored debris in the lower right corner is part of the slide mass that overflowed the near flank of the landslide scar. 1964. Plate 2, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 543-D.
Alaska Earthquake March 27, 1964. Spruce tree stumps (foreground) rooted in a thin layer of peat on a surf-cut bedrock surface about 14 feet below pre-earthquake extreme high water (indicated by the top of the line of driftwood below the present forest edge in the background). Radiocarbon age of a stump near the base of the stadia rod was 710+/-200 years. These stumps were exposed by about 16 feet of uplift in 1964. Katalla District, Alaska Gulf Region, Alaska, 1964. Photo by George Plafker, July 24, 1964. Published in U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 543-I, Figure 39, p.I-61. 1969.
Alaska Earthquake March 27, 1964. Coast at Cape Suckling uplifted about 13 feet during the earthquake. The difference in elevation between the post- earthquake storm beach, (marked by a band of light-colored driftwood), and the pre-earthquake storm beach, which was above the base of the sea cliff, provided a crude measure of the uplift. The smooth area between the upper limits of driftwood and the sea cliff is now a marine terrace, and the former island in the foreground is a stack on its surface. The flat surface on the stack is probably an older marine terrace. Photo taken at about zero tide stage. Cape Suckling, Katalla District, Alaska Gulf Region, Alaska, 1965.

Alaska Earthquake March 27, 1964. Bleached trunks of spruce trees on Latouche Island in Prince William Sound killed by saltwater immersion and partially buried in beach gravel as a result of about 8 feet of submergence below pre- earthquake extreme high-tide level. The locality was exposed by 8 feet of uplift in 1964. Latouche Island, Prince William Sound, Latouche District, Alaska Gulf Region, Alaska, 1964. Photo by George Plafker, May 28, 1964. Figure 38, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 543-I, Figure 38, p.I-61. 1969.

Alaska Earthquake March 27, 1964. Landslide scars as high as 200 feet (arrows) on the relatively upthrown block of the Patton Bay fault (dashed) near Nellie Martin River. The fault is exposed in the river channel where it dips about 50 degrees northwest (right) and has at least 16 feet of vertical displacement.
