Prindle area, Alaska, presents 1:63,360-scale, reconnaissance bedrock and surficial geologic mapping of the Lime Peak - Mt. Prindle area located in the Yukon-Tanana uplands, about 75 miles northeast of Fairbanks, Alaska. The area is part of the Yukon-Tanana terrane. In Alaska, the Yukon-Tanana terrane is composed of a least two sequences of metamorphic rocks with protoliths of Paleozoic and possibly late Precambrian age. These sequences consist of 1) quartz mica schist, quartzite, grit, maroon and green phyllite and slate, and black arenaceous limestone; and 2) quartzite, mica schist, marble, and metamorphosed mafic and ultramafic igneous rocks. The regionally metamorphosed and folded bedrock units in the project area have been intruded by three large, multiphase, biotite granite bodies, which are informally known as the Hope granitic suite, and include the Lime Peak, Quartz Creek, and Mt. Prindle intrusive bodies. In addition to the large plutons of the Hope granitic suite, five other types of intrusive rock are present in the Lime Peak - Mt. Prindle area. They include 1) an 85 to 90 Ma old alkalic suite of hornblende quartz monzonite, lamprophyre, and syenite, 2) the Pinnell Trail monzogranite, 3) felsite dikes and stocks that appear to be associated with the alkalic suite, 4) sills and dikes of gabbro and minor amounts of ultramafic rock in the northwest part of the area, and 5) gabbro dikes that intrude the Hope suite granitic rocks. Lode mineral deposits are present throughout the study area. Surficial deposits from mass-wasting processes mantle much of the bedrock in the Lime Peak - Mt. Prindle area. Glacial, glacio-fluvial, and fluvial processes have also contributed to local surficial deposits. Bedrock-rubble colluvium and solifluction lobes include reworked drift in cirque valleys and are present on high, steep slopes. Drift with morainal form is present in the highest elevation cirque valleys. Low-slope colluvium and alluvial-fan deposits are present on lower slopes and along the flanks of larger stream valleys. Alluvium and outwash are present in small terraces and along active stream channels. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/731. Purpose: Geologic mapping of the Lime Peak-Mt. Prindle area was conducted to support mineral resource appraisal of the Steese National Conservation Area and the White Mountains National Recreation Area.

Data_Set_Credit: A Congressional appropriation to support the ADGGS investigations in the Lime Peak-Mt Prindle area was provided through Public Law 99·190. Pursuant to the intent of P.L. 99-190, the ADGGS was assigned a grant (USGS Grant No. 14-08-0001-G-1276) to complete the mineral assessment studies. Geologic map conversion to the GeMS standard was funded by the USGS National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program under award number G21AP10329 and the State of Alaska General Fund. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S. Government. This map was converted to GeMS or digitized into GeMS by Lars Arneson of Kinney Engineering, Inc., quality controlled, and then finalized by DGGS staff (Chris Wyatt and Mike Hendricks Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Attribute fields within each feature class are populated using the map symbology and corresponding applicable values from the GeMS and AK GeMS specifications. When known, certainty in attribute interpretation is indicated in the relevant fields. Attribute accuracy varies throughout the map and is scale-dependent. Logical_Consistency_Report: All polygon features were topologically validated according to the AK GeMS geologic mapping schema specifications. Completeness_Report: This publication is a DGGS Miscellaneous Publication (MP). The report and accompanying data were evaluated by project staff for general readability and logical consistency but did not undergo editing and technical peer review. Information presented in this release is subject to change. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: This data release provides legacy geospatial data converted to the GeMS and AK GeMS specifications. The data compilers used map symbology to determine positional accuracy. The data pairs descriptive fields within each feature class with location confidence lookup tables to record the originating authors' degree of confidence in the location of features. When location accuracy values are unavailable, users must infer positional accuracy based on standard geologic mapping practices of the investigation era. Certainty in feature boundaries or location varies throughout the map. Lineage: Source_Information: Source_Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Ekberg, P.G.

Field notes, orientation measurements, and rock samples were compiled and collected throughout the map area. Mappers recorded observations on 1:50,000- and 1:63,360-scale airphotos and topographic base maps. Map interpretation relies on outcrop, subcrop, and float observations, major oxide, sulfur isotope, and trace element analyses. The conceptual framework for the regional geology incorporates key ideas from preexisting literature with new data and interpretations developed from field mapping and analytical findings. The accompanying map or report provides a comprehensive bibliographic reference list of prior work used to identify and delineate rock units and structural elements. Process_Date: 1996 Process_Step: Process_Description: GIS analysis and digital cartography - This data distribution package's geologic and geographic features were organized and attributed according to the AK GeMS geologic mapping schema. The data were programmatically transformed to provide download options in three formats: (1) an AK GeMS data package that includes the complete AK GeMS database and associated files, (2) a GeMS data package that is a conversion of the AK GeMS database into the base GeMS standard published by the USGS, and (3) a shapefile data package that includes two simple shapefile representations of the data.
