This project is part of the Alaska Airborne Geophysical/Geological Mineral Inventory Program funded by the Alaska State Legislature and managed by State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS). Partial funding for the geologic mapping and geochemical analyses was also provided through the U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP Program under award number 06HQAG0024.
The structural data in this report were acquired during the second year of a two-year mapping program, the purpose of which is to provide 1:50,000-scale geologic mapping of a portion of the Council airborne geophysical surveys released by DGGS in 2003 (Burns et al., 2003). The geophysical survey (helicopter-based aeromagnetic and electromagnetic data) and geologic mapping are part of the Alaska Airborne Geophysical/Geological Mineral Inventory Program, a special multi-year investment by the State of Alaska to expand Alaska's geologic and mineral resources knowledge base, catalyze future private-sector mineral exploration and development, and guide state planning.

All structural measurements were performed by DGGS and UAF geologists using Brunton compasses, which are accurate to within about 1 degree.
Location data were downloaded from Garmin 12XL GPS units into an Access database.
This dataset contains all outcrop structural measurements obtained in 2006 in the Solomon Quadrangle.
No topologic relationships are present in data.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
