USGS Alaska Digital Geologic Map (New)


Recommended Posts


Remember at Alaska's size you are looking at an area one fifth the size of the United States, so this is more like regional geology - the big picture. You need other maps covering at a minimum quad scale to get more detail. Most mining districts in Alaska have maps at inch to the mile scale. Nearly all are available for free online. Interactive Alaska Geologic Map Index or in a simpler format Alaska Geologic Maps by Quadrangle

For information on individual mineral deposits see the Alaska Resource Data File Finally, find all this and more on this website at Gold Prospecting Research Materials for Alaska

FYI- The Alaska Resource Data File, individual mineral deposit reports are identified on the Alaska Mapper.http://akmining.info/

 

If you go to the mining claim map.

 

Use the index on the left.

 

Open the layer tab.

 

Check the box Alaska Resource Data File.

 

This is a nice feature to use when doing claim research. Puts all the SR reports in perspective to the location you are looking at.
