Abstract
The primary controlling factors determining ground-water conditions in the Fairbanks D-1 SW quadrangle are (1) topographic position, (2) water-bearing characteristics of the rocks, and (3) distribution of permafrost. These interrelated factors generally limit the conditions in any particular area.
Basic data from the geologic map of the Fairbanks D-1 SW quadrangle (Map I-949, Pewe and others, in press), the map showing distribution of permafrost in the Fairbanks D-1 SW quadrangle (Map MF-671A, Pewe and Bell, 1975a), and the map showing foundation conditions in the Fairbanks D-1 SW quadrangle (Map MF 671D, Pewe and Bell, 1975c) have been used in conjunction with well data to establish generalized potential ground-water conditions.
