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 the geologic mapping and stratigraphic interpretations of the Malaspina district within the Gulf of Alaska Tertiary province, based on field studies carried out between 1944 and 1960. The report preserved the geologic framework developed during early U.S. Geological Survey petroleum investigations and provided a consolidated record of mapping, unit correlations, and revisions made at that time. By integrating earlier maps, updating unit assignments using information then available, and simplifying surficial categories, the report served as a historical reference for regional geologic research, stratigraphic studies, and the development of geologic mapping practices in southern Alaska.
