The U.S. Geological Survey, National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program, provided funding for the geologic mapping under STATEMAP award number 99HQAG0121 under the NCGM STATEMAP program for FY1999. The map was reviewed by R.F. Swenson and M.T. Whalen. 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.

The Sagavanirktok B-1 Quadrangle geologic mapping project supports North Slope oil production and discovery by providing the state and industry with the first published geologic map of this part of the North Slope oil province at a scale other than 1:2,500,000. Detailed geologic mapping of the quadrangle addresses the lack of understanding of the petroleum-geology framework of the eastern North Slope, Colville basin, and the stratigraphic transition from the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA) to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). This detailed mapping and petroleum-related data is pertinent to oil exploration for Prudhoe Bay satellite fields and new play-type reevaluations, as well as assist private-sector exploration efforts, and speed the exploration process. In addition, this data contributes to increased confidence in exploration and evaluation efforts in areas west of Prudhoe Bay.
