Reconnaissance geologic map of the Nome C-3 Quadrangle, Seward Peninsula, Alaska

Abstract

Reconnaissance geologic map of the Nome C-3 Quadrangle, Seward Peninsula, Alaska, Open-File Report 72-322, provides (1:63,360-scale) geologic mapping of parts of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Nome C-3 quadrangle. This map was published by the USGS and has been scanned, digitized, and attributed by DGGS staff. The dataset contains geologic, structural, stratigraphic, and geochronologic data organized according to the GeMS and AK GeMS mapping schemas. The geodatabase and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: https://dggs.alaska.gov/pubs/id/10961.
