DGGS Staff 2002 Geologic map of the Dalton Highway (Atigun Gorge to Slope Mountain) area, southern Arctic Foothills, Alaska - vectorized topographic dataset vector digital data Preliminary Investigative Report PIR 2002-2 Fairbanks, AK, USA State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) http://www.dggs.dnr.state.ak.us/pubs/pubs?reqtype=citation&ID=2867 This dataset is comprised of a vector topographic dataset illustrating the Dalton Highway area, from Atigun Gorge to Slope Mountain, in the west-central Philip Smith Mountains 1:250,000 quadrangle. The dataset was obtained from the USGS Alaskan 15-minute quadrangle series maps: Phillip Smith Mountains B-4, B-5, C-4, C-5, D-4, and D-5. 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. The layers listed below are present as ArcGIS shape files. Attribute information for the following layers (entities) is included in this metadata file under the "Entity_and_Attribute_Information" section. Each layer is listed and described in detail under its own heading starting "Entity_Type_Label." Layers include: >grid_poly township and range grid >hydro_arc line coverage of depicting hydrologic features >hydro_poly polygon coverage of depicting hydrologic features >hypso_arc line coverage of depicting hypsographic contour lines >spots_point point coverage of depicting hypsographic elevation point >trans_arc line coverage of depicting transportation features 2002 2002 June 2002 (publication date) Complete none planned -150.000000 -149.000000 68.779444 68.439167 ISO 19115 Topic Category geoscientificInformation None STATEMAP Program Topographic Map None Alaska, State of Atigun Gorge Atigun River Brooks Range Dalton Highway Endicott Mountains Galbraith Lake Imnavait Mountain Itigaknit Mountain Itkillik River Kuparuk River Philip Smith Mountains Quadrangle Sagavanirktok River Slope Mountain Toolik Lake Toolik River This map and data set is available directly from the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (see contact information below).

Project management by E.E. Harris. Digital attributing and metadata by: Simone Montayne and Paige Peaples. Edited by: Paula K. Davis and Carrie Browne Microsoft Windows XP SP2, ArcGIS 9.+, and any text editor. 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. Topology is present on appropriate polygon and line datasets; others are point data. This dataset includes data tables that contain information about hydrologic, hypsographic, cultural features. 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.

Each mylar separate was then scanned and digitized by a contractor (Titan Systems Corporation/AverStar Group) to ADGGS specifications, creating one georeferenced vector file from each separate. The resulting files were delivered to ADGGS where ADDGS personnel attributed entities of interest.
