New Geologic Map Index Of Alaska

[Steve Herschbach]

 
Alaska is trying to make as much information as possible available to prospectors on the internet. The latest offering is an interactive map index for state Division of Geological & Geophysical Survey (DGGS) maps and US Geological Survey (USGS) maps. It allows searches of the database by geographic area of interest, keywords, publishing agency, dates, etc. Results of a search provides a list of free, downloadable maps.  The current database status (a work in progress):
 
Maps published by the Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS)
                    Percent of DGGS maps uploaded by theme:
                    Geology  96%
                    Geophysics  95%
                    Hazards  98%
                    Other  25%
                    Resources  85%
 
Maps published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
                    Percent of USGS maps uploaded by theme:
                    Geology  65%
                    Geophysics  25%
                    Hazards  50%
                    Other  12%
                    Resources  25%
