Preliminary report on the potential waterpower of Grant, Ptarmigan, Cooper and Crescent lakes on the Kenai Peninsula, near Seward, Alaska
Arthur Johnson
1955, Open-File Report 55-74
Grant, Ptarmigan, Cooper, and Crescent Lakes, located in the Kenai Mountains in the upper portion of the Kenai River Basin, approximately 25 miles to the north of Seward, present favorable opportunities for the development of waterpower. Grant and Ptarmigan Lakes can be made readily accessible by roads from the Seward-Anchorage...
Geochemical exploration for antimony in southeastern Alaska
