Abstract
This report is a compilation of ground-water, surface-water, and water-quality data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division on Eyak Lake and Power Creek, near Cordova, and wells in and near Cordova, Alaska. Many of these data were collected as part of a cooperative program with the city of Cordova. The purpose of this report is to present the data in a concise format for interested parties.
Cordova is on the southeast shore of Orca Inlet in Prince William Sound (lat 60°33' N.; long 145°45' W.) at an altitude of approximately 90 feet (fig. 7). The limited development has occurred along the north shore of the west arm of Eyak Lake. The current population of Cordova is about 1,800. Commercial fishing and fish processing form the economic base for the community.
