Publication_Date: 1996 Title: Preliminary Derivative Geologic Materials Map of the Fairbanks Mining District, Alaska Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: map, vector digital data Series_Information: Series_Name: Public Data File Issue_Identification: PDF 96-17 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Fairbanks, Alaska - USA Publisher: State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Other_Citation_Details: 1 sheet, scale 1:63,360 Online_Linkage: http://dx.doi.org/10.14509/1741 Description: Abstract: This map illustrates potential near-surface sources of geologic materials that may be useful for construction and other purposes. Field observations indicate that each geologic unit (for example, flood-plain alluvium) has a definite composition or range of composition. Therefore, the presence of material type is interpreted from the distribution of geologic units (Newberry and others, 1996 - PDF96-16). Assignment of Unified Soil Classes (Wagner, 1957) is based on visual observation and interpretation of the likely distribution of the materials; no grain-size analyses were performed. Descriptions of unconsolidated deposits are modified from Pewe and Bel (1975a-d) and Pewe and Bell (1976). This map is generalized and is not intended to show exact locations of specific materials. Purpose: The purpose is to indicate areas where there is a high likelihood of finding the desired geologic materials. Local variations are common, especially near unit boundaries. Precise economic evaluation of specific localities as sources of desired geologic materials will require detailed examination of each deposit, including areal extent, volume, grain-size variation, thickness of overburden, thermal state of the ground, depth to ground water, access, demand, and land ownership.

Attribute information for the following layers (entities) is included in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section.

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: tabular digital data, map, vector digital data Series_Information: Series_Name: Public Data File Issue_Identification: PDF 96-16 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Fairbanks, AK, USA Publisher: State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Other_Citation_Details: 17 p., 2 sheets, scale 1:63,360 Online_Linkage: http://dx.doi.org/10.14509/1740 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Geologic data were digitized from a mylar geologic compilation. This compilation was done on a one to one scale, stable mylar of the USGS topographic base for each of the 1:63,360 scale USGS topographic bases included in the map area. Geologic data included in the compilation are the field maps and notes from this project as well as data from other sources as noted in the "Sources Cited" section. Logical_Consistency_Report: Polygon topology present and clean. Completeness_Report: This dataset includes geospatial information about geologic materials units. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Location data were determined visually using topographic maps at scales of 1:63,360 and larger. Altimeters were also used. GPS technology was not used to determine locations. Instead, geologic contacts, sample, and station locations were visually hand-plotted onto stable mylar bases from the field maps. The coordinates of sample and station locations were determined with a digitizing tablet. All samples plotted on the maps are included in the various tables. Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: 100 Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation: The estimated horizontal error of this dataset is +/- 100 meters. Considering the errors inherent in the USGS topographic maps, locating oneself in the field and the digitizing method, all localities, stations, and samples are located to an accuracy of between 10 and 100 meters.

Process_Step: Process_Description: The geologic data included in this project were digitized from a mylar compilation of geologic field maps produced on USGS topo bases of the area. Map unit (polygon) locations and attributes were checked by two reviewers broadly familiar with the dominant geologic rock types in the Fairbanks area. Locations were determined visually using topographic maps at scales of 1:63,360 and 1:25,000. Geologic contacts, sample, and station locations were visually hand-plotted onto stable mylar bases from the field maps.
