This Geologic Map was funded in part by the U.S. Geological Survey National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program under assistance award number 03HQAG0055. Geologic field investigations by: C.G. Mull (1984-1985, 1989, 1999-2003); E.E. Harris (1985, 1999-2000, 2002-2003); P.R. Delaney (2002-2003); D.L. LePain (2000-2001, 2003); M.A. Wartes (2001-2002); R.R. Reifenstuhl (2003); P.A. Craw (2003); W.K. Wallace (2002); M.T. Whalen (2003); A.M. McCarthy (2001-2002); R.A. Kirkham (2000-2001); J.A. Dumoulin (2003); E.S. Finzel (2002-2003); K.D. Ridgway (2003); and R.R. Casavant (2003); D.A. Bodnar (1983); K.E. Adams (1984-1985); D.W. Houseknecht (2003). This map was converted to GeMS then finalized by Alec Wildland and Mike Hendricks. Geologic map conversion to the GeMS standard was funded by the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program under StateMap award number G21AC10706, 2021, and the State of Alaska General Fund.

Alaska's North Slope is largely covered by tundra and past exploration has relied heavily on expensive seismic data. The geology exposed along the northern mountain front provides much-needed insight into the evolution of the petroleum system. Many of the geologic relationships delimited by our mapping can be projected into the subsurface and are directly relevant to ongoing exploration. In addition to relevant oil and gas issues, detailed geologic mapping in the foothills of the Endicott Mountains investigates several important scientific questions related to deposition of the Brookian Megasequence and evolution of the Colville foreland basin.
