Abstract
Southern Prince of Wales Island is underlain by stratified, intrusive, and metamorphic rocks of Cretaceous through pre-Middle Ordovician age and by surficial deposits. The region was mapped originally in reconnaissance fashion by Buddington and Chapin (1929) and subsequently by W.H. Condon and I.L. Tailleur (unpublished U.S.G.S. report, 1960) primarily with the use of aerial photographs. More recently, MacKevett (I 963) studied the geology of the Bokan Mountain-Stone Rock Bay area, Herreid and others (1978) and G. Donald Eberlein, Michael Churkin Jr., and Walter Vennum (Eberlein and others, 1983; unpublished data) mapped Kassa and Klakas Inlets and regions to the north, and Thompson and others (1982) and B. Col lot (in Saint-Andre and others, 1983) studied the Bokan Mountain Granite. The inset map of Plate 1 shows where this published and unpublished mapping has been incorporated into our geologic map.
