Description:

Abstract:: Surficial geology map digitized at Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve by Michael Murray, 1997 from USGS Miscellaneous Field Studies Map MF-1132, Valdezc-1 Quad.
Purpose: Provide appropriate scale data to meet park management needs.
Supplemental_Information:: Geo_code: Codes from map legend. See original map on file with Park Geologist or USGS. Gridcode: Numeric equivilant values for Geo_code, e.g. 18=m Deposit: Grouping of deposits by type Sorted: Are the deposits sorted? Gravel: pri=primary, sec=secondary Sand: pri=primary, sec=secondary Silt and Clay: pri=primary, sec=secondary Organic: Is the deposit organic? Unit definition: how well defined is the unit? Drainage: How good is the drainage of the unit? Thickness: Approximate depth of surficial layer in meters. Age: The age of the unit.
