Survey of geology, geologic materials, and geologic hazards in proposed access corridors in selected quadrangles, Alaska

As part of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) effort to make final recommendations of federal land parcels to be considered for selection by the State of Alaska according to provisions of the Statehood Act, a decision was made to identify and evaluate potential access corridors. Corridor maps were compiled for a total of 78 quadrangles throughout Alaska. This map suite shows relevant geologic information at a scale of 1:250,000 for 10-mile-wide corridors straddling centerlines for proposed access routes throughout Alaska. The maps are based on geologic data compiled from existing, published mapping. Each compiled corridor geology map was used to derive maps of potential construction materials, data quality,...

Sedimentology, stacking patterns, and depositional systems in the middle Albian-Cenomanian Nanushuk Formation in outcrop, Central North Slope, Alaska

Detailed facies analysis is presented for the Nanushuk Formation in outcrop in the central North Slope. Facies associations are interpreted and described. Simplified measured sections are presented along with detailed segments of measured sections to illustrate facies and facies association stacking patterns.

Geologic map of the Cobblestone Creek - May Creek area, east-central foothills, Brooks Range, Alaska

The Cobblestone Creek-May Creek area of the foothills of the Endicott Mountains 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. The Cobblestone Creek-May Creek area is important in delineating the stratigraphic and structural relationships in this area because, unlike the adjacent valleys of the Itkillik and Nanushuk rivers, Cobblestone and May Creeks were not glaciated during the Pleistocene, and thus bedrock exposures are generally more continuous.

Geologic map of the Kanayut River area, Chandler Lake Quadrangle, Alaska

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.
