Nisqually Valley below Nisqually Glacier, as seen from station 3 in 1934 prior to the October flood (date estimated). Note the substantial stand of trees and brush on the west part of the flood plain and the river on the east side of the flood plain. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Photo by USGS Conservation Division, 1934. Panorama in two parts. Photo 46 and 47. (seevfm00047) Figure 36, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

Upper reaches of Nisqually and Wilson Glaciers as seen from station 13 on August 30, 1957. Most of exposed bedrock areas marked in photo no. 18 are now covered by Wilson Glacier. Glacier surface at profile 3 is only 3 feet (1 m) higher than in 1949, but near left edge of picture it probably is about 60 feet (18 m) higher because at profile 2 the ice level rose 97 feet (30 m) from 1949 to 1957. The crevassing appears much coarser (rougher) now and extends to the east edge of the glacier. Exposed face of the ice field above the cliff is thicker. The falls at far left are nearly dry (compare with photo no. 18). Note the different layers (ages) of firn exposed in the small area at lower right, which can be differentiated...

Glacier National Park, Montana. Altyn Limestone in the lower slopes of Appekunny Mountain, northeast of Many Glacier Hotel. This view is at the type locality of the formation, close to the site of the former settlement of Altyn. The Lewis overthrust is at the base of the cliffs, and the smooth slopes below are underlain by shale of Cretaceous age, which yields few outcrops. July 6,1901.

Lava crest west of Relief Valley, Stanislaus Basin. Granite in foreground. A large Pleistocene glacier traversed the valley from left to right, but its sculpture has been greatly modified by later weathering. Dardanelles quadrangle. Tuolumne County, California. 1905.

Nisqually Glacier from its confluence with Wilson Glacier to the nunatak, as seen from station 7 in August 1915 by G.L. Parker, U.S. Geological Survey. This view was taken from a slightly different location than the others in series 7; it was higher on the hillside, with the camera pointed farther to k left. Note (as is graphically verified in photo vfm00009) how the conformation of the surface slope of the ice along the west canyon was different in 1915 than in 1963 or 1965 and how, during the intervening half century, many changes in exposure of the rock formations occurred. Note also the two moraines near the far edge of the glacier, marked by debris lines. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 1945....

Nisqually Valley below Nisqually Glacier, as seen from station 3. West of the island of trees, most of the vegetation present in the 1934 view (photo vfm00046) is gone, due to the glacier outburst flood of October 1934. The river now flows west of this island of trees. The deck of the concrete highway bridge used prior to the October 13, 1932 flood is visible on the flood plain just below the island of trees. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 25, 1947. Panorama in two parts. Photo 46 and 47. (see vfm00046) Figure 37, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

River channel just above the highway bridge, viewed downstream from a cliff. The October 25, 1955 glacier outburst flood has caused easily recognizable changes in the channel: 1., a large (13 by 19 by 25 feet, or 4 by 5.8 by 7.6 meters) boulder was deposited at the left; 2., a wider swath cut through vegetation; 3., a terrace formed along the left side of the flood plain; 4., many large boulders (one was 8 by 8 by 15 feet, or 2.6 by 2.6 by 4.9 meters) were deposited high on the left bank above and below the highway. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 28, 1956. Panorama in three parts. Photo 49, 51 and 52. (see vfm00049 and vfm00052) Figure 39-C, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.

The Nisqually Valley below Nisqually Glacier, as seen from station 3. Aggradation on the flood plain, caused by the outburst flood of October 25, 1955, is evidenced by altered topography and dead trees. A new bridge was constructed high above the flood-affected channels. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. August 31, 1965. Figure 38, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 631.
