Alaska Earthquake March 27, 1964. New site of Valdez and dock facilities (foreground). Old Valdez, devastated by the earthquake, is at center (left) at the head of Port Valdez. Loss of the Valdez waterfront by submarine slides, extensive earthquake damage throughout the town, and the ever-present danger of flooding by Valdez glacial stream (note dikes around town) led to recommendations by U.S. Geological Survey geologists to abandon the town and to rebuild Valdez on the flat near Mineral Creek. The Scientific and Engineering Task Force concurred in this recommendation. Bedrock ridges along the shore protect the new townsite and also mean that there is no danger of offshore slides. Mineral Creek, Valdez District,...
