Abstract
The purpose of this brief investigation was to obtain general information on Lake Chackachamna and its water-power possibilities which would serve as a guide in planning and executing future studies. Field investigation consisted of a flight to the lake in a small float plane (see Plate I-B) by the writer on August 3, 1948, landing on the lake near the outlet, making a brief study of conditions there and taking a number of pictures of which several are included in this report with appropriate descriptions. The flight was made with Jack Carr of Anchorage from whom the plane was chartered. It was rather windy at time of landing on the lake and as the wind velocity was increasing Mr. Carr recommended that the stay there be made as short as possible and was consequently less than an hour.
