This report provides detailed mapping (1:63,360-scale) in the Dalton Highway area, from Atigun Gorge to Slope Mountain, in the west-central Philip Smith Mountains quadrangle. The map area extends from the northern flank of the Endicott Mountains into the Arctic Foothills province.

Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) has conducted 1:63,360-scale geologic mapping of the Sagavanirktok B-1 Quadrangle (640 square km�equivalent to four 7.5 minute quadrangles). This mapping project reinterprets micropaleontologic correlations for 17 Sagavanirktok Quadrangle wells, and reprocesses data from the one publicly-available seismic line. Surface geologic mapping, subsurface-to-surface stratigraphic age control, and seismic framework are required to reliably decipher the complex geology of this key area of the Brooks Range. Outcrops within the Sagavanirktok B-1 Quadrangle are the closest surface expressions of Prudhoe Bay source and reservoir rocks. This study yields critical petroleum-related...

During 2004 and 2005 DGGS Energy Section geologists, together with University of Alaska Fairbanks and USGS personnel, conducted 1:63,360-scale geologic mapping in the Siksikpuk River Area of the Chandler Lake B-4 and C-4 quadrangles in northern Alaska. This work was conducted as part of the USGS-funded STATEMAP project, part of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program.

Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) has conducted 1:63,360-scale geologic mapping of the Sagavanirktok B-1 Quadrangle (640 square km�equivalent to four 7.5 minute quadrangles). This geologic map was produced by merging a bedrock geologic map and a surficial geologic map of the Eagle A-2 Quadrangle. This mapping project reinterprets micropaleontologic correlations for 17 Sagavanirktok Quadrangle wells, and reprocesses data from the one publicly-available seismic line. Surface geologic mapping, subsurface-to-surface stratigraphic age control, and seismic framework are required to reliably decipher the complex geology of this key area of the Brooks Range.

The Kanayut River area in the Chandler Lake Quadrangle, North Slope, Alaska, is located in the foothills of the Endicott Mountains. It is one of a series of areas selected for detailed mapping to document important structural and stratigraphic relationships at the mountain front of the east-central Brooks Range. This publication presents a geological map, cross section, correlation of map units, location index, and map unit descriptions.
