Thanks are extended to Trent Hubbard (DGGS) and Travis Hudson (Applied Geology, Inc.; USGS, retired) for their thoughtful reviews of the map and report, which significantly improved the work. This geologic mapping project was funded primarily by the U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP program under STATEMAP award numbers 04HQAG0061 and 06HQAG0024. Partial funding was also provided by NASA BAA-01-OES-01 to utilize NASA and commercially developed data and capabilities in operations and decision support. The geologic map database was converted to GeMS, quality controlled, and then finalized by DGGS staff Amy Macpherson, Ally Steinleitner, and DGGS contractors. Geologic map conversion to the GeMS standard was funded by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program under STATEMAP award number G21AC10706, 2022, 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.
DGGS engaged in a NASA-funded project to help facilitate the economic viability of rural communities through increased placer mining opportunities. The surficial-geologic mapping was derived in part from a project funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to apply remote sensing imagery, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), and high-altitude color-infrared photography integrated with knowledge of geomorphology, surficial deposits, and bedrock geology to evaluate the placer gold potential of part of the Council mining district.
