Geologic map of the Siksikpuk River area, Chandler Lake Quadrangle, Alaska

Description

Preliminary Interpretive Report 2007-1, Geologic map of the Siksikpuk River area, Chandler Lake Quadrangle, Alaska, 1:63,360-scale geologic mapping in the Siksikpuk River Area of the Chandler Lake B-4 and C-4 quadrangles in northern Alaska. This portion of the northern Brooks Range foothills is thought to be strategic for natural gas and is currently under lease to both major and smaller independent petroleum exploration companies. New mapping in this area provides an opportunity to study, in outcrop, the stratigraphy and structural styles of the source and reservoir rocks that enrich the Colville basin to the north. The mapping extends structural and stratigraphic models developed during previous mapping along the foothills to the west, providing baseline geologic data to the private and public entities that identify, develop, and manage resources that area. 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/10.14509/15757.
