<abstract>
The southern Brooks Range spans northern Alaska from west
to east.  It has tree- and shrub-covered lowlands and
tundra-covered and rocky uplands.  Much of the area has
ridgelines reaching about 4000 feet, but the central part
of the map area has ridgelines exceeding 6000 feet and
peaks above 7000 feet.  The geology includes the Brooks
Range orogen, a contractional mountain belt with a foreland
basin on its north side.

This map has been compiled from published maps and papers,
and unpublished mapping by the authors.

This data set is a portion of a statewide geology database,
which is being compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey's
National Surveys and Analysis (NSA) project, whose goal
is to compile geologic, geochemical, geophysical, and
other data.
</abstract>
<purpose>
This 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unpublished, ranging from state and regional geologic maps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.

Data set was created using ESRI ARC/Info version 7.2.1
on a Unix platform.

There were many types of source materials, of varying scale,
used to compile this data set.  Sources include previously
published maps and unpublished mapping.  The dates of the
mapping range from the present to 1950's.  Vector features
were digitized on a large digitizing tablet or on screen
from a scanned image.  Vector and polygon attributes were
assigned based on the original source. the digital data
has been checked, and the geologic map has been technically
reviewed and edited.
</attraccr>
</attracc>
<logic>
Each geology coverage is a network coverage containing
attributed arcs and polyons.  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.  Dangling arcs may
be present (faults, dike, etc.)
</logic>
<complete>
The complete data set consists of 11 geology GIS
converages.  There is also an associated relational
database of geologic units.  Each coverage has the full or
partial extent of a 1:250,000 scale quadrangle.  A
graphic representation of the database (map) and a report
including complete geologic unit descriptions is provided
in .pdf format.

<procdesc>
Line work for the geology compilation was hand digitized
from material of various media and scale.  The arcs and
polygons were attributed.  The spatial databases are
provided in UTM projection and geographic coordinates.
The native ARC/Info coverages have been exported to an
interchange file format, and also converted to shape files.
Please note that shape files do not preserve arc directions,
which help determine fault movement.

Characteristics of the polygon features in the geology
coverages are coded in the polygon attribute table.  The
table &lt;cov&gt;.pat includes the following items:  CLASS,
QCLASS, LITH2, SOURCE, NSACLASS, NSAMOD, LABEL, MIN_AGE,
and MAX_AGE.  Item LITH2 is used to generate the southern
Brooks range map of Till and others, in press.  NSACLASS
is used for creating the generalized geologic map of
Alaska.  Items CLASS and SOURCE together identify the
original mapping of the geologic unit.

<attrlabl>LITH2</attrlabl>
<attrdef>
LITH2 is a positive integer value (4 5 B) item in the
polygon attribute table.  Values range discontinuously
from 0 to 52090.  LITH2 is a numeric code for the
geologic unit (LABEL), as shown on the southern Brooks
range map by Till and others, in press.  LITH2 to LABEL
is a one-to-one relationship.

NOTE:  Because of the limitations of common GIS fonts, the
letters "C", "Mz", "Pz", "Tr", and "Z" are substituted for
the standard symbols for "Cambrian", "Mesozoic",
"Paleozoic", "Triassic", and "Proterozoic".

<attrdef>
NSACLASS is a positive integer value (4 5 B) item in the
polygon attribute table.  Values range discontinuously
from 100 to 9325.  NSACLASS is a numeric code for the
geologic unit for the statewide database.  This data set
represents a generalized map, thus it is possible that a
geologic unit consists of multiple NSACLASS values.  Each
NSACLASS matches to a geologic unit label in LABEL and
has minimum (MIN_AGE) and maximum (MAX_AGE) range, given
in million of years (my).

Supplemental attribute tables included with this data set
contain additional descriptive information of each geologic
unit.  A user may use items SOURCE and CLASS to retrieve
information about the original units from which these
generalized units were formed.

NOTE:  Because of the limitations of common GIS fonts, the
letters "C", "Mz", "Pz", "Tr", and "Z" are substituted
for the standard symbols for "Cambrian", "Mesozoic",
"Paleozoic","Triassic", and "Proterozoic".

SOURCE is a character (6 8 C) item found in both the arc
and polygon attribute tables.  The values are abbreviated
codes representing the original source reference for the
polygon or arc feature.  The format for SOURCE is
XX###, wher XX is a two letter code for the 1:250,000
scale quadrangle and ### is a three digit number (with
leading zeros).  All source codes with '001' are
unspecified sources for water and ice features, often paper
topographic maps, and DRG or DLG files.

ARC-CODE is a positive integer value (3 3 I) item in the
arc attribute table.  Values range discontinuously from
1 to 99.  Values match one-for-one with geologic features,
such as stratigraphic boundary, fault, etc.   Some ARC-CODE
features have additional modifiers in item ARC-PARA1.
