| Value | Definition |
|---|---|
| BC | Medium-jointed, fine- to coarse-grained sedimentary carbonate rocks. Includes limestone, and dolostone. |
| BM | Medium-jointed, fine- to medium-grained quartzose sedimentary rocks. Includes quartzose sandstone and conglomerate, quartzite, and chert. |
| BO | Rocks of mixed lithology and very fine-grained sedimentary lithologies that are generally poorly suited for use as construction materials. Includes shale, siltstone, graywacke and argillite. |
| GM | Poorly- to moderately well-sorted clay, silt, sand, gravel, and diamicton of colluvial, fluvial and glacial origins. Includes angular, unsorted talus debris and chaotically deformed colluvium derived from landslides. |
| GS | Fluvial and glaciofluvial gravel, sand, and silt. Chiefly (estimated >80 percent) clean sand and gravel. Grain size, sorting and degree of stratification are variable. Permafrost may be present, especially in older deposits. |
| NA | Interpretation not available, region covered by a body of water (lake) |
| OR | Organic-rich silt and peat in bogs and thaw lake basins. Commonly frozen and ice-rich due to the excellent insulating properties of peat. Generally water-saturated. Chiefly organic materials. Estimated >50 percent peat, organic sand, or organic silt. |
| SM | Silt deposited primarily by wind and reworked by fluvial and colluvial processes. May be organic rich. Commonly frozen and ice-rich, especially on north-facing slopes. Chiefly fine materials. Estimated >80 percent silt, sand, and clay. |

At the time this project was published, the State of Alaska depended on the petroleum industry for approximately 80 percent of its revenue, most of which comes from oil fields on the North Slope. North Slope oil production is declining. This mapping project addresses this problem by providing the state and industry with the first published geologic map of this part of the North Slope oil province at a scale other than 1:2,500,000. Detailed geologic mapping of the quadrangle addresses the lack of understanding of the petroleum-geology framework of the eastern North Slope, Colville basin, and the stratigraphic transition from the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA) to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). This detailed mapping and petroleum-related data is pertinent to oil exploration for Prudhoe Bay satellite fields and new play-type reevaluations, as well as assist private-sector exploration efforts, and speed the exploration process. This data will contribute to increased confidence in exploration and evaluation efforts in areas west of Prudhoe Bay.

Location data for geologic point coverages were entered manually from GPS units into a spreadsheet. Data for surficial and materials point, line, and polygon coverages were determined in the field using 1:63,360-scale topographic maps and 1:50,000 (nominal) scale, color-infrared aerial photographs. 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. Attributes were verified for consistency and completeness during the creation of the metadata.
DGGS location data and estimated position errors were manually entered into a spreadsheet. Sample numbers and locations with selected data were spatially registered and analyzed in ArcGIS software. Location data for the surficial and materials maps were determined visually using topographic maps at a scale of 1:63,360 and 1:50,000 (nominal) scale, color-infrared aerial photographs. See "Source_Information" section for horizontal positional accuracy of locations not measured by DGGS.
This dataset includes coverages that contain information about engineering-geologic units, and field sample locations at 1:63,360 scale.
Topology is present on appropriate polygon and line coverages; others are point coverages.
