Description: Abstract: The Yukon Flats basin is an areally extensive forested lowland that contains numerous lakes, streams, and marsh areas bordered by densely vegetated low rolling hills in east central Alaska. The 1:500,000-scale generalized geologic map of the Yukon Flats basin and its borderlands is intended to show major geologic features that surround the basin. Geologic (rock) units are generalized to highlight significant structural boundaries and relationships in order to make the general geologic setting of the basin more clearly evident and the subsurface basin geology more easily inferred. The map was compiled largely from existing geologic maps, most based on field data collected between 1948 and 1974. However, mapping in the Livengood, Circle, and parts of the Bettles and Wiseman quadrangles was done in the late 1970's and 1980's. Data from the Tanana quadrangle was collected as recently as 2003. This data set is a portion of a statewide geology database, which is being compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey's National Survey and Analysis (NSA) project, whose goal is to compile geologic, geochemical, geophysical, and other data. Purpose: The data set represents part of a systematic effort to release geologic map data for the United States in a uniform manner. Geologic data in this series has been compiled from a wide variety of sources, published and unpublished, ranging from state and regional geologic maps to large-scale field mapping.

Labay (contractor), Frederic H. Wilson (USGS) Native_Data_Set_Environment: Data set was created using ESRI ArcGIS and ARC/Info version 7.2.1 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The compiled geology was digitized from a hand drawn 1:500,000 scale paper map. Vector and polygon attributes were assigned. The digital data has been checked and the geologic map has been technically reviewed and edited. Logical_Consistency_Report: Each geology coverage is a network coverage containing attributed arcs and polygons. Each polygon has a coded attribute designating the mapped geologic unit. Faults, stratigraphic contacts, and other linear features are represented as arcs. When a fault is also a stratigraphic contact, only a single arc is present. Dangle arcs may be present (faults, dike, etc.) Completeness_Report: The complete data set consists of 14 different GIS coverages, 12 geology coverages and 2 fold coverages. There is also an associated relational database of geologic units. Each coverage has the extent of a 1:250,000 scale quadrangle. A graphic representation of the GIS database and a report with complete geologic descriptions is provided in .pdf format. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: This data is presented for use at a scale of 1:500,000. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Linework for the geology and folds were digitized and incorporated into a geodatabase by Jesse Crews. The geology and folds were converted to coverages with the NSA standard data base structure by Keith Labay. The data was divided into 1:250,000 scale quadrangle extents. Each coverage is provided in UTM projection and geographic coordinates. The ARC/Info coverages have been exported to an interchange file format, .e00, and also converted to ArcView shape files.

The table .pat includes the following items: CLASS, NSACLASS, NSAMOD, QCLASS (not used), SOURCE, LABEL, MIN_AGE, and MAX_AGE. Entity_Type_Definition_Source: this data set Attribute: Attribute_Label: CLASS Attribute_Definition: CLASS is a positive integer value (4 5 B) item in the polygon attribute table. Values range discontinuously from 0 to 4040. CLASS is a numeric code for the geologic unit from Till and others, in prep. Each CLASS matches with a geologic unit label in LABEL and has a minimum (MIN_AGE) and maximum (MAX_AGE) range, given in million of years (my). Each map unit has been assigned an NSACLASS value (4 5 B). NSACLASS is a numeric code used for compilation geologic mapping for the state of Alaska. This data set represents a generalized map, thus it is possible that a geologic unit is made of multiple NSACLASS values. NOTE: Because of the limitations of common GIS fonts, the letters "C", "pC", "Mz", "P", "Pz", "Tr" are substituted for the standard symbols for "Cambrian", "Precambrian", "Mesozoic", "Proterozoic", "Paleozoic", and "Triassic." The letters "C" (Carboniferous and Cambrian) and "P" (Permian and Proterozoic) have multiple age designations, so the user should refer to the geologic unit descriptions for the correct geologic age.
