Ross Green Lake

Ross Green Lake in Detail.

In the Granite Creek valley between Thompson Ridge and Granite Range, one mile east of Barkely Lake and 45 mi. N of Cape Yakataga, Chugach Mts.

Named by D. J. Miller, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in 1960 for Ross V. Green (1886-1959), who was founder of the Cordova Izac Walton Chapter and, because of his interest in outdoor activities, aided several U.S. Geological Survey parties based in the Cordova area. Green was born in Missouri and, after living for many years in Idaho, came to Cordova in 1942. The first known landing on this lake by airplane was made by Miller on the day of Mr. Green's funeral.
