This topographic dataset supplements the geologic report, PIR 2002-2, Geologic map of the Dalton Highway (Atigun Gorge to Slope Mountain) area, southern Arctic Foothills, Alaska. The dataset was obtained and attributed to enhance the print quality of paper version of the geologic report. It is intended as an add-on to the geologic vector data distribution package.

Data sources used in this process:
Spatial data attributes were attached to data objects using ArcGIS 8.1. Attributes within the geologically mapped area were verified for consistency and completeness during the creation of the metadata. Entities and attributes that occur or extend beyond the geologic map boundary have not been quality controlled for completeness or accuracy.
Individual mylar map separates were scanned and digitized to Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) specifications, error magnitude associated with this step is unknown but is assumed to be small or non-existent relative to possible errors in the associated geologic dataset.
This dataset includes data tables that contain information about hydrologic, hypsographic, cultural features.
Topology is present on appropriate polygon and line datasets; others are point data.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
