Album caption: Oblique aerial view of the north edge of the Alaska Range and the bordering piedmont in the Windy Fork area. The Farewell fault indicated by a number of short arrows (a), extends across the front of the Alaska Range. The flood plain (Qab) of the Windy Fork and a small alluvial fan (Qaf) of a tributary stream are cut into drift (Qdf2) of the late phase of the Farewell glaciation (Farewell 2). On the right side of the picture is another flood plain (Qab), of an unnamed stream, cut into outwash (Qof) of the Farewell glaciation. A number of large cones (Qac) blanket the base of the range and extend onto the piedmont. Two isolated bedrock hills (b) project above the surficial deposits of the piedmont....

Album caption: Oblique aerial view of the fresh moraine of the Walker Lake Glaciation at Walker Lake. The prominent moraine, divisible into and outer and an inner loop, extends completely around the southern end of the lake except for a narrow valley cut by its outlet stream. The lake is near the headwaters of the Kobuk River, which is somewhat within the picture, a low oblique high altitude view. Kobuk district, Northern Alaska region, Alaska. 1955. Published as figure 3 in U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1181-K. 1964. No index card available.

Album caption: Oblique aerial view of a large part of the older dune field between the Kuskokwim and Big Rivers. The field (Aso) is characterized by sand ridges and irregularly shaped sand hillocks, on which white spruce and black spruce are dominant (dark-gray areas.) Interdune areas have scattered black spruce and a heavy cover on muskeg vegetation (light-gray areas.) The dune field is bordered on the northeast (upper left corner of the picture) by the flood plain (Qam) of the meandering Katlitna River, from which it is separated by an irregular escarpment estimated to range between 100 and 150 feet in height. On the opposite side of the river is a small part of the younger McGrath dune field (Qs), separated from...

Album caption: Moraines of the Selatna and Farewell glaciations along the Big River. The end moraine of the Farewell glaciation forms the high escarpment on the far right side of the Big River flood plain. The escarpment averages about 100 feet in height. The long smooth ridge beyond, and rising above - the end moraine is one the lateral moraines of the Selatna glaciation. These moraines are 4 miles north of the south border of the upper Kuskokwim region. McGrath district, Kuskokwim region, Alaska. circa 1949. Published as figure 25 in U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1071-G. 1960. No index card available.

Album caption: Low aerial view of several lakes on alluvial plain in Medfra flats. The lakes are between the East and South Forks, about 18 miles east-southeast of Medfra. A floating mat of vegetation outlines the near end of the lake in the foreground. Forested areas between the lakes have a heavy carpet of muskeg vegetation. Tonzona district, Kuskokwim region Alaska. ca. 1949. Published as figure 35 in U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1071-G. 1960. No index card available.

Album caption: Oblique aerial view of the moraines of the Farewell and Selatna glaciations along the South Fork. The topographic expression of the slightly subdued outer moraine (Qdfl) of the early phase of the Farewell glaciation (Farewell 1), on the left side of the picture, contrasts sharply with that of the greatly subdued moraine (Qds) of the Selatna glaciation, on the right side of the picture. Between the two morainal systems and also enveloping the older moraine is the widespread outwash slope (Qof) of the Farewell glaciation. It is smooth and fairly steep at the immediate front of the younger moraine and appears on the photographs as a light-gray strip. Small streams flow on the outwash slope. The braided...

Album caption: Oblique aerial view of the Great Kobuk Sand Dunes. The eastern part of the field has many undulating transverse ridges made up of a series of U-shaped dunes; the ends of the ridges at the edge ofthe field are curved back to the windward. In the western part of the field, where the amount of sand has increased and the vegetation cover has decreased, the ridges consist of a series of barchans. The dune-building winds are easterly. Scale and orientation vary somewhat within the picture, a low oblique high altitude view. Kobuk district, Northern Alaska region, Alaska. 1955. Published as figure 6 in U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1181-K. 1964. No index card available.
