Title:

Geologic map of the Upper Chena River area, eastern interior Alaska

Abstract:

Geologic studies of the upper Chena River area were undertaken in 1983 as part of the Interior Mining District Evaluation Program, a series of projects designed to develop new information on known mineral districts in interior Alaska. During the three-year course of the program, geologists examined four districts that have contributed significantly to historical gold production in Alaska's Interior, Fairbanks, Livengood, Richardson, and upper Chena River. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/2315.

Supplemental_Information:

This geodatabase is organized according to the AK GeMS mapping schema Hendricks, M.D., Ekberg, P.G., Athey, J.E., Wyatt, W.C., Willingham, A.L., and Naibert, T.J., 2021, AK GeMS data dictionary: A description of the Alaska geologic mapping schema: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Miscellaneous Publication 170, 10 p. https://doi.org/10.14509/30669.

Why was the data set created?

The authors chose to study the upper Chena River district to better understand (1) the source of placer gold resources near Van Curler's Bar, (2) the nature and production potential of tungsten-bearing skarns in the eastern map area, and (3) a proposed route of a transportation corridor through the area.

How were the data generated, processed, and modified?
Date: 1983 (process 1 of 3)
Fieldwork - Mappers recorded observations in field notebooks and on the aerial photographs and topographic maps, predominantly at 1:63,360 scale. In some areas, photocopies of topography at varying enlarged scales were used. All compilations were made by hand on stable Mylar at 1:63,360 scale. Locations were determined visually in the field by reference to surrounding topography and sometimes by triangulation with Brunton compasses.
Date: 1994 (process 2 of 3)
Geologic map compilation - Data for the digital geologic map was digitized from a Mylar geologic field map compilation. This compilation was done on a one to one scale, stable Mylar of the USGS topographic base for each of the 1:63,360 scale USGS topographic bases included in the map area. The bedrock geologic map was compiled using field notes from fieldwork process step (above) and information from prior geologic investigations by various researchers.

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

How well have the observations been checked?
Certainty in attribute interpretation varies throughout the map and is scale dependant. Attribute fields within each feature class record the authors' degree of confidence in the existence or identity of applicable features.
How accurate are the geographic locations?
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.
How accurate are the heights or depths?
Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?
This publication is released as a DGGS Professional Report (PR). A PR is the completed product of original research and analysis, and PRs use professional cartography and undergo rigorous peer review, editing, and revision to ensure accuracy.
How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?
All polygon features were topologically validated according to specifications of the AK GeMS geologic mapping schema.

How can someone get a copy of the data set?

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
