Boswell Bay White Alice Site, Cordova, Valdez-Cordova Census Area, AK

Significance: The Boswell Bay White Alice Site (49COR312) is significant because it played an essential part in the air defense system for the United States as one of the communication links between the radar systems of the District Early Warning (DEW) Line and the military command centers and air fields in Alaska and the Lower 48. It is also significant as a representative of a type of technology and facility which was considered state-of-the-art for a very short period of time (1954-1971) and has since been supplanted by a more efficient and sophisticated system.
