Abstract

Release of this map in open-file is in response to recent requests for geological information in the central Brooks Range and adjacent Arctic foothills. Upcoming State of Alaska oil and gas lease sales, the White Hills Sale Area 61 (January, 1992), the North Slope Foothills Sale Area 57 (September, 1993), and the Nanushuk Sale Area 77 (May, 1993) are stimulating interest in the geology of the central Arctic foothills. Geological field programs in preparation for lease sales are beginning this summer. Western Geophysical Company has made 800 line miles of reflection seismic data available for the upcoming lease sales, 400 line miles shot during the winter of 1986-87 and 400 line miles shot during the winter of 1988-89. The recently completed geophysical and ongoing geological surveys have prompted requests for timely release of geological information on the central Arctic foothills.
