Review of the stratigraphy and structure of the Gubik anticline

Abstract

At the direction of Ralph L. Miller, a special study was made of part of the Gubik anticline east of the Colville River. The purpose of this study was two fold; first, the examine the field evidence bearing on east plunge, second, to attempt to establish the continuity of the anticlinal axis from the Colville River to the Anaktuvuk River. The results of this study and a summary of results of the study of part of the anticline west of the Colville River by Stefansson and Thurrell 1/ are presented below.

Regional interpretation of the geology of the Kongakut - Firth Rivers area, Alaska

In 1952 the National Park Service became interested in setting aside a large wilderness area in northeastern Alaska. The area is approximately 7,000 square miles in size, with boundaries as follows: beginning at Camden Bay south along the Katakturuk River to lat. 68° N.; then east to long. 144° 33' W.; south to lat. 68° N.; then east to the Canadian Boundary. The two river areas which the Park Service is most interested in examining for ecology, botany, archaeology, and geology are the upper Firth and Kongakut Rivers.
