This dataset represents a digitized version of the Rawlinson 1993 surficial geologic map of the Flaxman Island and Beechy Point quadrangles, and portions of the Mount Michelson and Harrison Bay quadrangles at 1:63,360 scale. In this newly digitized version of the map, the original maps were scanned, georeferenced, and projected into GIS. Approximately 100-200 typographic and labelling errors from the paper version were corrected with inputs from the original author (corrections completed in 2024). However, this digitized product still adheres to the 1993 interpretation of the surficial geology. Original descriptions of the map units can be found with the 1993 publication (https://doi.org/10.14509/2484). The original 1993 map was generated via photointerpretation done manually on acetate sheets overlain on color infrared aerial photographs, aided by a stereoscope, and then manually transferred to a map base using a zoom-transfer scope. Only low-resolution 1:250,000-scale black-and-white Landsat imagery was available for reference in the 1980s when the mapping was completed. After photointerpretation, the surficial geology units and morphology information was field spot-checked, with extensive fieldwork occurring between 1981 and 1985. As part of the fieldwork, locations with exposure along coasts, rivers, and gravel pits were prioritized, with 464 stratigraphic sections measured and described, and 678 samples collected for analyses that included grain size, radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dating, amino acid analysis in mollusk shells and wood, identification of wood types, and microfossil and pollen contents. An important note of caution to users is that this digitized product represents the 1993 interpretation of surficial geology. Modifications to the 1993 product address typographic errors and do not consider re-interpretations of the surficial geological units since then, and more recent information about the regional surficial geology is available.

Geologic map geodatabase depicting the surficial geology of the central Brooks Range, Alaska. Including the 250k quadrangles of Ambler River, Bettles, Chandalar, Chandler Lake, Hughes, Howard Pass, Killik River, Phillip Smith Mountains, Survey Pass, and Wiseman. Database tables include geologic linework and geologic units.

During the 2006 field season, the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys conducted remote mapping as part of the Kavik River STATEMAP project.This surficial-geologic mapping was conducted to provide additional detail to the STATEMAP comprehensive geologic mapping as well as to serve as a stand-alone map publication.

This dataset is comprised of 35 geo-referenced aerial images of four study areas (Teshekpuk Lake Special Area, Chipp River, Colville River Delta, and Dalton Highway Corridor) on Alaska's Arctic Coastal Plain. The images are from aerial photo surveys flown in 1948-1949 and obtained from the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center using the USGS EarthExplorer website. The images represent a historical snapshot of the landscape from that time.

This dataset is comprised of 11 geo-referenced aerial images of two study areas (Teshekpuk Lake Special Area and the Chipp River) in the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska (NPRA) on Alaska's Arctic Coastal Plain. The images are from aerial photo survey flown by NASA in 1974, 1977, 1979 and obtained from the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center using the USGS EarthExplorer website in 2013. The images represent a historical snapshot of the landscape from that time.

This dataset is comprised of one geo-referenced aerial image from the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska (NPRA) on Alaska's Arctic Coastal Plain taken on 21 June 1955 by the U.S. Air Force and obtained from the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center using the USGS EarthExplorer website in 2013. The image represents a historical snapshot of the landscape from that time.
