Michelson B-5 and C-5 quadrangles and the western portion of the B-4 and C-4 quadrangles. The Kavik River region is one of the few areas that permit examination of all three depositional megasequences of northern Alaska in close association. Several occurrences of oil-stained sandstone have been noted in outcrop and the undeveloped Kavik field that lies in the north-central part of the map is estimated to contain 165 billion standard cubic feet of natural gas. In concert with geologic mapping, stratigraphic units significant for oil and gas exploration were examined in detail, including acquisition of a number of measured sections. Local analysis of the sedimentology and stratigraphy focused particularly on the more prospective Beaufortian and Brookian units. The dataset contains geologic, structural, stratigraphic, and geochronologic data organized according to the GeMS and AK GeMS mapping schemas. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/22602. Purpose: Geologic mapping of the Kavik River area is a product of ongoing work to conduct stratigraphic, structural, and petroleum related studies throughout northern Alaska Supplemental_Information: This geodatabase is organized according to the AK GeMS mapping schema Hendricks, M.D., Ekberg, P.G., Athey, J.E., Wyatt, W.C., Willingham, A.L., and Naibert, T.J., 2021, AK GeMS data dictionary: A description of the Alaska geologic mapping schema: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Miscellaneous Publication 170, 10 p. https://doi.org/10.14509/30669.

An RI is the completed product of original research and analysis, and RIs use professional cartography and undergo rigorous peer review, editing, and revision. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: This data release provides legacy geospatial data converted to the GeMS and AK GeMS specifications. The data compilers used map symbology to determine positional accuracy. The data pairs descriptive fields within each feature class with location confidence lookup tables to record the originating authors' degree of confidence in the location of features. When location accuracy values are unavailable, users must infer positional accuracy based on standard geologic mapping practices of the investigation era. Certainty in feature boundaries or location varies throughout the map. Lineage: Source_Information: Source_Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: Ekberg, P.G.

All fieldwork was conducted from a base camp at the Kavik River airstrip in the northwestern corner of the map area. The 1:63,360-scale map covers more than 1,550 km2 (600 mi2), including the complete Mt. Michelson B-5 and C-5 quadrangles and the western portion of the B-4 and C-4 quadrangles. During the course of mapping, data were collected from approximately 700 bedrock field stations. In addition to surface geologic constraints, available subsurface data (seismic and well logs) were integrated to better constrain stratigraphic and structural relationships. Geophysical logs were consulted for the six industry wells in the northern quarter of the map area. Six two-dimensional (2-D) seismic lines were also available, including three south-north lines, or composite lines, and three east-west tie-lines. These data were acquired in an ARCO group shoot in 1980 and 1981 and were later released to the public by the U.S. Geological Survey. The south-north lines are particularly useful in resolving the structural style, and we chose to construct cross sections along these lines. Data quality is very poor in the southern portions of the seismic lines and none of the lines continue into the higher relief areas in the southern part of the map. Nevertheless, the cross sections continue to the southern edge of the map and are constrained solely by surface geology. The conceptual framework for the regional geology incorporates key ideas from preexisting literature with new data and interpretations developed from field mapping and analytical findings. The accompanying map or report provides a comprehensive bibliographic reference list of prior work used to identify and delineate rock units and structural elements.
