This series of maps supplements an earlier series of similar maps for the adjacent area to the south between Palmer and Big Lake. A separate geologic-materials map was developed to show the probable distribution of materials with certain ranges of grain sizes, and their relative abundance, because the area is rich in geologic materials that may be useful for construction. It is an important source of construction aggregates for the region, because of extensive glaciofluvial deposits in the area. Additionally, the Castle Mountain fault, which is known to be active, traverses the area of the current series of maps. Although the fault is easily distinguishable in areas immediately to the east and west of the area mapped in this series, it is largely obscured here by surficial deposits and vegetation. We present on these maps the best known surface evidence for faults and possibly fault-related lineaments.

Geologic point, line, and polygon data were determined in the field using 1:63,360-scale topographic maps and 1:50,000 (nominal) scale, color-infrared aerial photographs. The surficial-geologic information was transferred from acetate air-photo overlays to a paper 1:63,360-scale USGS topographic base using a zoom transfer scope. The surficial-geologic information was then digitized into Arc/Info GIS (ArcEdit module) using a large-format digitizing table with RMS registration errors constrained to be no larger than 0.003 inches (input coverage units) for each digitizing session. Geologic data included in the compilation are the field maps and notes from this project as well as data from other sources as noted in the "Sources Cited" section.
Location data were determined visually using topographic maps at a scale of 1:63,360 and 1:50,000 (nominal) scale, and color-infrared aerial photographs.
This dataset includes geospatial information related to derivative geologic materials units.
Polygon topology present and clean on appropriate data.
