The Kigluaik Mountains comprise a region of rugged terrain located approximately 50 km north of Nome on the Seward Peninsula in northwestern Alaska and are defined as the topographic high between the Imuruk Basin on the north, the Sinuk River area to the south, the Nome-Teller highway to the west, and the Nome-Council highway to the east. This compilation at 1:63,360 scale is the first detailed map of the entire Kigluaik Mountains and has been compiled from geologic mapping at 1:24,000 scale as part of a project initiated by E. L. Miller at Stanford University in 1987. Our mapping covers more than 3/4 of the area of the Kigluaik Mountains, the rest of which was compiled from the aforementioned thesis maps and other sources. This mapping took place during field seasons of a duration of approximately 4-8 weeks a year during the years of 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1992. Field parties ranged in size from 1-5 persons, with minimal helicopter support. The aim of the project was to elucidate the Cretaceous tectonic history of the region, and as a result, Quaternary geology and minor offset faults were deemphasized. The Quaternary sediments of the region were mapped by Kaufman (1989). The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/1782. Purpose: The bedrock geologic interpretations and investigation of the Kigluaik Mountains area was implemented as part of an ongoing DGGS program to provide geologic mapping and supporting geochemical, petrologic, and geochronologic data to foster a better understanding of Alaska's geology and mineral potential.

Amato (1992). This compilation includes mapping published as Stanford theses by A.T. Calvert (M.S. 1992), K.A. Hannula (Ph.D. 1993), and J.M. Amato (Ph.D. 1995). Additional field work was carried out by T.A. Little (1989, 1991). J. Lee (1991), J. Toro (1992), and J.E. Wright (1992). Field assistants were L. Symchych (1991) and J.Y. Amory (1992). Logistical support was provided by L. Young of Cominco, T. Bundtzen of the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, and the Jim and Debbie Miller family of Nome, Alaska. This map was converted to GeMS or digitized into GeMS by Lars Arneson of Kinney Engineering, LCC., quality controlled, and then finalized by DGGS staff (Chris Wyatt and Mike Hendricks). Geologic map conversion to the GeMS standard was funded by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program under StateMap award number G21AC10706, 2021, and the State of Alaska General Fund.

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 Public Data File (PDF). The objective of this series, published from 1983 through 1999, was to make project and field data available to the public as soon as possible. PDFs were not reviewed or edited. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Certainty in feature boundaries or location varies throughout the map. Data fields within each feature class and the accompanying orientation and location confidence lookup tables record the authors' degree of confidence in the location of applicable features.
