Description
Surficial-geologic map of the Kivalina area, northwest Alaska, Preliminary Interpretive Report 2024-8, shows the distribution of unconsolidated deposits and bedrock exposed at the surface in portions of the southern Noatak D-6, southwestern Noatak D-5, and northwestern Noatak C-5 quadrangles near Kivalina, Alaska. We mapped units by interpreting: (1) aerial photographs taken in 1952, 1978, 1980, and 2003; (2) Worldview satellite data collected in 2008 and 2009; and (3) Spot5 satellite imagery collected in 2010 and 2020. We verified mapping from 2010 field investigations by Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) staff. Map unit descriptions are modified from Mayfield and others (1987) and use data collected during DGGS fieldwork. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys website: http://doi.org/10.14509/31300.
