The dataset contains geologic, structural, stratigraphic, and geochronologic data organized according to the GeMS and AK GeMS mapping schemas. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/14445.More than 1 million ounces of placer gold have been extracted from the Solomon-Council area since the turn of the century, with most production derived from the Casadepaga and Solomon rivers and the Ophir Creek drainage. This work was conducted to evaluate the area's potential for additional reserves of placer gold.This geodatabase is organized according to the AK GeMS mapping schema Hendricks, M.D., Ekberg, P.G., Athey, J.E., Wyatt, W.C., Willingham, A.L., and Naibert, T.J., 2021, AK GeMS data dictionary: A description of the Alaska geologic mapping schema: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Miscellaneous Publication 170, 10 p. https://doi.org/10.14509/30669.

The geologic mapping was funded by the State of Alaska and the U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP program under STATEMAP award number 04HQAG0061. This map was converted to GeMS or digitized into GeMS by Lars Arneson of Kinney Engineering, Inc., quality controlled, and then finalized by DGGS staff (Chris Wyatt and Mike Hendricks). Geologic map conversion to the GeMS standard was funded by the USGS National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program under award number G21AP10329 and the State of Alaska General Fund.

When known, certainty in attribute interpretation is indicated in the relevant fields. Attribute accuracy varies throughout the map and is scale-dependent.All polygon features were topologically validated according to the AK GeMS geologic mapping schema specifications.This publication is part of a DGGS Report of Investigations (RI). An RI is the completed product of original research and analysis, and RIs use professional cartography and undergo rigorous peer review, editing, and revision.This data release provides legacy geospatial data converted to the GeMS and AK GeMS specifications. The data compilers used map symbology to determine positional accuracy. The data pairs descriptive fields within each feature class with location confidence lookup tables to record the originating authors' degree of confidence in the location of features. When location accuracy values are unavailable, users must infer positional accuracy based on standard geologic mapping practices of the investigation era. Certainty in feature boundaries or location varies throughout the map.Ekberg, P.G.Hendricks, M.D.Athey, J.E.2021AK GeMS symbology: A description of the AK GeMS style fileMiscellaneous PublicationMP 169Fairbanks, Alaska, United StatesAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys7 phttps://doi.org/10.14509/30584paper2021publication dateEkberg, P.G. and others, 2021GIS analysis and digital cartographyHendricks, M.D.Ekberg, P.G.Athey, J.E.Wyatt, W.C.Willingham, A.L.Naibert, T.J.2021AK GeMS data dictionary: A description of the Alaska geologic mapping schemaMiscellaneous PublicationMP 170Fairbanks, Alaska, United StatesAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys10 phttps://doi.org/10.14509/30669paper2021publication dateHendricks, M.D. and others, 2021GIS analysis and digital cartographyU.S. Geological Survey National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program2020GeMS (Geologic Map Schema) - A standard format for the digital publication of geologic mapsTechniques and MethodsTM 11-B10United StatesU.S. Geological Survey1 phttps://dggs.alaska.gov/pubs/id/30585paper2020publication dateU.S. Geological Survey National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program, 2020GIS analysis and digital cartographyGeologic mapping - The surficial geologic mapping was principally interpreted from 1:63,360-scale, falsecolor, infrared aerial photographs and multi-scale, multiband satellite imagery. Units and contact were locally verified by ground observations during field visits in 2002, 2003, and 2004. Surficial geology in this area was previously mapped at a reconnaissance (1:250,000-scale) level. The conceptual framework for the geology incorporates key ideas from preexisting literature with new data and interpretations developed from field mapping and analytical findings. The accompanying map or report provides a comprehensive bibliographic reference list of prior work used to identify and delineate rock units and structural elements.2005GIS analysis and digital cartography - This data distribution package's geologic and geographic features were organized and attributed according to the AK GeMS geologic mapping schema. The data were programmatically transformed to provide download options in three formats: (1) an AK GeMS data package that includes the complete AK GeMS database and associated files, (2) a GeMS data package that is a conversion of the AK GeMS database into the base GeMS standard published by the USGS, and (3) a shapefile data package that includes two simple shapefile representations of the data.Ekberg, P.G. and others, 2021Hendricks, M.D. and others, 2021U.S. Geological Survey National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program, 20202022vectorUniversal Transverse Mercator30.999600-1650500000.0000000coordinate pair.00000001.00000001MetersNAD27Clarke 18666378206.4294.9786982big_hurrah_surficial_ak_gems_db_pkgGeodatabase, layer files, style files, and fontsDGGSbig_hurrah_surficial_ak_gems_db_pkgbig_hurrah_surficial_gems_db_pkgGeodatabase, layer files, style files, and fontsDGGSbig_hurrah_surficial_gems_db_pkgbig_hurrah_surficial_gems_shapefile_pkgShapefiles and open data filesDGGSbig_hurrah_surficial_gems_shapefile_pkgAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical SurveysMetadata Managermailing and physical
