The online Map Index dataset and application were compiled and developed through funding from the federal Minerals Data and Information Rescue in Alaska (MDIRA) program and State of Alaska's General Fund, and continue to be supported by the State of Alaska General Fund. The redesigned 2021 web map application was funded by the USGS National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program under award number G20AP00103 and the State of Alaska General Fund and implemented by Michael Hendricks (GIS analyst), Susan Seitz (database manager/programmer), Jennifer Athey (project manager, geologist), and Simone Montayne (geologist). The following DGGS employees helped create the 2013 Map Index application: Jennifer Athey (project manager, geologist), Susan Seitz (database manager/programmer), Anonymous (programmer), Simone Montayne (geologist), and Ken Woods (systems administrator). Application design ideas and an application prototype were provided by Will Fisher, Geographic Information Network of Alaska (programmer). DGGS staff responsible for original data compilation: Laurel Burns (project manager, geophysicist), Robin Smith (geologist), Shelley Hicks (geologist), and Heather Erickson (geologist). USGS collaborator David Soller (Chief, National Geologic Map Database project) provided data for Alaska's thousands of U.S. Geological Survey geology-related maps.
The Map Index interactive web mapping application facilitates the discovery of geologic maps needed to perform research, make informed resource- and land-management decisions, and better understand the geology across Alaska.
