Description:

Abstract:

The lower Yukon River region in southwest Alaska covers more than 30,000 square miles (78,000 square kilometers) of western Alaska. It stretches from Norton Sound on the north, to the Kilbuck Mountains on the south, from the Fox Hills and Russian Mountains on the east, and to the Bering Sea on the west. This geologic map compilation includes mapping from unpublished reconnaissance studies by J.M. Hoare, W.H. Condon, and W.L. Coonrad during the years between 1946 and 1971. It also includes the following more recent investigations, Russian Mission C-1 1:63,360 scale quadrangle by Bundtzen and Laird (1991), Kilbuck Mountains of southern Russian Mission quadrangle by Box and others (1993), the southern Holy Cross quadrangle by Miller and others (1996; 1998a; b), and unpublished data from 1987 by W.W. Patton Jr., M.L. Miller, J.M. Murphy, S.E. Box, and T.K. Bundtzen.

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:

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 Geologic data in this series has been compiled from a wide variety of sources, published and unpublished, ranging from state and regional geologic maps to large-scale field mapping.

Native_Data_Set_Environment:

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

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Several types of source materials, of varying scale, were used to created this data set. Sources include previously published maps, unpublished mapping, air photo interpretation, and limited new field mapping. Vector features were mostly digitized on a large digitizing tablet. 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.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Each geology coverage is a network coverage containing attributed arcs and polygons. Each polygon has 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.)

Completeness_Report:

The complete data set consists of 11 different GIS coverages, 7 geology coverages and 4 fold coverages. Theres is also an associated relational database of geologic units. Each coverage has the extent of 1:250,000 scale quadrangle. A graphic representation of the GIS database and a report with complete geologic unit descriptions is provided in .pdf format.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

This data is presented for use at a nominal scale of 1:500,000, although some sources were at larger scale.

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Linework 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, .e00, and also converted to ArcView shape files.

Entity_and_Attribute_Information:

Detailed_Description:

Entity_Type:

Entity_Type_Label: polygons

Entity_Type_Definition:

Characteristics of the polygon features in the geology coverages are coded in the polygon attribute table. The table <cov>.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: NSACLASS

Attribute_Definition:

NSACLASS is a positive integer value (4 5 B) item in the polygon attribute table. Values range discontinuously from 0 to 6320. NSACLASS is a numeric code for the geologic unit. This data set represents a generalized map, thus it is possible that a geologic unit is made of multiple NSACLASS values. Each NSACLASS matches with geologic unit labels in LABEL and has a minimum (MIN_AGE) and maximum (MAX_AGE) range, given in million of years (my).

Supplemental attribute tables included with this data set contain addtitional 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 " Mz", "Pz", and "Tr" are substituted for the standard symbols for "Mesozoic", "Paleozoic", and "Triassic."
