Stratigraphy and structure of the area of the Killik, Chandler, Anaktuvuk, and Colville Rivers, Alaska

This report deals with results of field and laboratory studies carried out to May 1946 by the Geological Survey, largely as part of the Navy Department's program of petroleum investigations in northern Alaska. The immediate purpose of the work has been to collect and interpret stratigraphic and structural data pertinent to drilling in the Umiat area. Field studies were made during the summers of 1

During the summer of 1946 the United States Geological Survey, as part of its program of stratigraphic and structural investigations in the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, had one field party investigating the Umiat area.The stratigraphy of the area was already fairly well known from earlier investigations. The main object of this investigation was to delineate, in as much detail as possible, the U

Appalachian drainage and the highland border sediments of the Newark series

The highland border fanglomerates of the Newark basin in New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania show no extraordinary correlation with present drainage either in distribution or lithologic character and degree of rounding of their gravels. The writer found no evidence of deposition of any of the fanglomerates by major streams and no evidence that any of the present streams enter the basin

Preliminary report on the stratigraphy and structure of the Kurupa, Colville, and Oolamnagavik Rivers, Alaska

U. S. Geological Survey Party No. 4 covered the area between 68° 30' and 69° 08' N. latitude and between 154° and 155°20' W. longitude during the period May 18 to September 2. Traverses were confined mainly to the valleys of the Kurupa, Colville, and Oolamnagavik Rivers inasmuch as very little rock is exposed in the interstream areas. This report is limited to the Colville River valley area betwee

Structural control of ore deposition at Kasaan Peninsula, southeastern Alaska

Copper‐bearing magnetite deposits and associated copper deposits at Kasaan Peninsula, Prince of Wales Island, southeastern Alaska, have been known for many years and have been mined to some extent for their copper content. At the beginning of World War II, the development of war industries in the Pacific northwest focused attention on the deposits as possible sources of iron ore. From 1942 through
