Sainsbury developed the mapping techniques, prepared the geologic maps, and collected the test samples. Curry conducted replicate spectrographic analyses on duplicate sample splits, and Hamilton performed additional check analyses that helped refine the analytical results, with other analysts credited in the tables. Harry W. Smedes field checked the air-traverse geologic maps, and Daniel R. Shawe assisted Sainsbury during testing of the sand-scoop sampling devices. Robert Emmons of the Alaska State Division of Highways provided logistical support by storing fuel and supplies at his field headquarters north of Nome. All contributions are gratefully acknowledged. Kinney Engineering, LLC staff used scanned and georeferenced paper maps to digitize geologic features into an AK GeMS database. Chris Wyatt conducted quality control of this digitizing work and completed the creation of the AK GeMS database. Ally M. Steinleitner implemented final database quality control and packaging. This geologic map (or report or conversion or product, etc.) was funded by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program under STATEMAP award number G24AC00521, 2024, 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.
The purpose of this report was to document reconnaissance geologic mapping and airborne geochemical sampling completed in 1969 in the Bendeleben A-4, B-3, B-4, and adjacent Bendeleben 1:250,000 quadrangles on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, to support a clearer understanding of geologic conditions relevant to mineral exploration and resource evaluation in the region. The results provided new information on the distribution of geologic units, structural features, and geochemical anomalies, strengthening Alaska's ability to identify areas with mineral potential and to guide future exploration and land-management decisions.
