Preliminary report on the stratigraphy and structure of part of the Carbon Creek and Ketik anticlines

Abstract

U. S. Geological Survey Party No. 4 mapped the stratigraphy and structure of parts of the Carbon Creek and Ketik anticlines during the summer of 1950. The area, which lies in quadrangles I-19 and I-20 is shown in figure 1. Large-scale maps, compiled from plane-table surveys, give a more detailed picture of two parts of the area, the west plunge of the Carbon Creek anticline (fig. 2) and a segment near the middle of the Ketik anticline (fig. 3).

Regional interpretation of the geology of the Kongakut - Firth Rivers area, Alaska

In 1952 the National Park Service became interested in setting aside a large wilderness area in northeastern Alaska. The area is approximately 7,000 square miles in size, with boundaries as follows: beginning at Camden Bay south along the Katakturuk River to lat. 68° N.; then east to long. 144° 33' W.; south to lat. 68° N.; then east to the Canadian Boundary. The two river areas which the Park Service is most interested in examining for ecology, botany, archaeology, and geology are the upper Firth and Kongakut Rivers.
