Publication_Date: 1975 Title: Surficial geologic map of the Juneau urban area and vicinity, Alaska Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: geodatabase Series_Information: Series_Name: Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map Issue_Identification: I 885 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: United States Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Other_Citation_Details: 1 sheet, scale 1:48,000 Online_Linkage: https://dggs.alaska.gov/pubs/id/12956 Description: Abstract: Surficial geologic map of the Juneau urban area and vicinity, Alaska, Miscellaneous Investigations Series Map 885, presents results from a geologic investigation of surficial deposits in and near the Juneau urban area. The map area covers parts of the Juneau A-2, B-2, and B-3 quadrangles and shows the distribution of surficial geologic map units throughout the area. The map and report aimed to provide broad guidelines that would be useful for city and land-use planning. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/12956. Purpose: This digital geologic data conversion product is intended to facilitate multi-map merging of adjacent work by USGS and DGGS staff. Supplemental_Information: This geodatabase is organized according to the Geologic Map Schema (GeMS) standard published as Techniques and Methods 11-B10 by the USGS. The conversion was performed within the framework and mechanisms of the Alaska Geologic Mapping System's 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. The distribution package includes ESRI fonts and style files, along with usage instructions.

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. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Attribute fields within each feature class are populated using the map symbology and corresponding applicable values from the GeMS and AK GeMS specifications. When known, certainty in attribute interpretation is indicated in the relevant fields. Attribute accuracy varies throughout the map and is scale-dependent. Logical_Consistency_Report: All polygon features were topologically validated according to the AK GeMS geologic mapping schema specifications. Completeness_Report: This work is complete. We encourage users to review the original USGS release for a print-formatted map and documentation of the original work. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: This data release provides legacy geologic mapping converted to the GeMS and AK GeMS specifications. The data compilers used map symbology to determine positional accuracy. The data pairs descriptive fields within each feature class with location confidence lookup tables to record the originating authors' degree of confidence in the location of features. When location accuracy values are unavailable, users must infer positional accuracy based on standard geologic mapping practices of the investigation era. Certainty in feature boundaries or location varies throughout the map. Lineage: Source_Information: Source_Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Ekberg, P.G.
