Geologists observed details about the variations in texture, lithology, and orientation of the map units, collected rock samples, noted outcrop descriptions, and conducted structural measurements. Field observations were integrated with existing literature and geophysical survey data.1996Laboratory data compilation - Selected samples were submitted for geochronologic and geochemical analysis. The results were used to further interpret the stratigraphic and structural history of the map area.Joy, B.R. and others, 1996Newberry, R.J., 19961996Geologic map compilation - The geologic data were digitized from a mylar compilation of geologic field maps produced on USGS topo bases of the area. Locations were determined visually using topographic maps at scales of 1:63,360 and 1:25,000. Geologic contacts, samples, and station locations were visually hand-plotted onto stable mylar bases from the field maps. Data were digitally compiled and plotted using ArcInfo software. The coordinates of sample and station locations were determined using a digitizing tablet output. The map and report received technical review and editing by several scientists familiar with the subject matter. The authors incorporated the reviewers' suggestions into the final draft when deemed appropriate.Burns, L.E. and others, 2019Robinson, M.S. and others, 19901996GIS analysis and digital cartography - This data distribution package's geologic and geographic features were organized and attributed according to the AK GeMS geologic mapping schema. The data were then programmatically transformed to provide download options in three formats: (1) an AK GeMS data package that includes the complete AK GeMS database and associated files, (2) a GeMS data package that is a conversion of the AK GeMS database into the base GeMS standard published by the USGS, and (3) a shapefile data package that includes two simple shapefile representations of the data.Ekberg, P.G. and others, 2021Hendricks, M.D. and others, 2021U.S. Geological Survey National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program, 20202021vectorUniversal Transverse Mercator60.999600-1470500000.0000000coordinate pair.00000001.00000001MetersNAD27Clarke 18666378206.40000000037294.978698199999997fairbanks_mining_district_ak_gems_db_pkgGeodatabase, layer files, style files, and fontsAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveysfairbanks_mining_district_ak_gems_db_pkgfairbanks_mining_district_gems_db_pkgGeodatabase, layer files, style files, and fontsAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveysfairbanks_mining_district_gems_db_pkgfairbanks_mining_district_gems_shapefile_pkgShapefiles and open data filesAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveysfairbanks_mining_district_gems_shapefile_pkgAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical SurveysMetadata Managermailing and physical
