The Iditarod C-3 Quadrangle lies on the eastern edge of the Kuskokwim Mountains, a maturely dissected upland of accordant, rounded ridges and broad, sediment-filled lowlands. Mineral deposits of economic significance in the area include the gold cinnabar-chromite placer deposits on Moore, Fourth of July, and Deadwood Creeks, the Broken Shovel silver-gold lode, and sand and gravel deposits in tailings along Moore Creek. The dataset contains geologic, structural, stratigraphic, and geochronologic data organized according to the GeMS and AK GeMS mapping schemas. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/2277. Purpose: This map shows the distribution of bedrock and surficial geology of the Iditarod C-3 Quadrangle. The work is intended to facilitate multi-map merging of adjacent work by USGS and DGGS staff. 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.

Data_Set_Credit: This map was originally prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey, who were conducting studies in the Iditarod Quadrangle under the Alaska Mineral Resource Assessment Program. The geologic map database was converted to GeMS, quality controlled, and then finalized by DGGS staff Wes Buchanan and Mike Hendricks. 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 publication is 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. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: 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.

In some areas, photocopies of topography at varying enlarged scales were used. Field notes and rock samples were collected at stations throughout the map area. Geologists' observations were analyzed relative to the interpretations of previous workers and compiled onto a single mylar base map. Samples were collected for petrographic, age, and/or geochemical analysis. Locations were determined visually in the field by reference to surrounding topography and sometimes by triangulation with Brunton compasses. The conceptual framework for the geology incorporates key ideas from preexisting literature with new data and interpretations developed from field mapping and analytical findings. The accompanying map or report provides a comprehensive bibliographic reference list of prior work used to identify and delineate rock units and structural elements. Process_Date: 1983 Process_Step: Process_Description: GIS analysis and digital cartography - This data distribution package's geologic and geographic features were organized and attributed according to the AK GeMS geologic mapping schema. The data were programmatically transformed to provide download options in three formats: (1) an AK GeMS data package that includes the complete AK GeMS database and associated files, (2) a GeMS data package that is a conversion of the AK GeMS database into the base GeMS standard published by the USGS, and (3) a shapefile data package that includes two simple shapefile representations of the data.
