Preliminary report on the stratigraphy and structure of the Kiligwa River area, Alaska, 1951

January 1, 1951

The 1951 field program for Navy Oil Unit party 3 was undertaken with a twofold purpose: (1) to investigate the apparent anticlinorium in the Torok formation (Lower Cretaceous) where exposed along the lower reaches of the Ipnavik, Kiligwa, and Nuna Rivers; and (2) to extend the mapping of the west-central Southern Foothills section initiated in 1950 and determine the relationship of the geology of the foothills to that of the Brooks Range to the south.
