Geologic studies of the upper Chena River area were undertaken in 1983 as part of the Interior Mining District Evaluation Program, a series of projects designed to develop new information on known mineral districts in interior Alaska. During the three-year course of the program, geologists examined four districts that have contributed significantly to historical gold production in Alaska's Interior, Fairbanks, Livengood, Richardson, and upper Chena River.
This surficial-geologic map shows the distribution of unconsolidated deposits and undifferentiated bedrock in the Faith Creek area in the Circle A-4, A-5, B-4, and B-5 quadrangles. This map was prepared principally by the interpretation of 1:63,360-scale, false-color, infrared aerial photographs taken in 1979 and 1981 and is locally verified by ground observations during field work in 2007.

This map illustrates potential near-surface sources of geologic materials that may be useful for construction and other purposes. Field observations indicate that each geologic unit (for example, flood-plain alluvium) has a definite composition or range of composition. Therefore, the presence of material type is interpreted from the distribution of geologic units (Newberry and others, 1996 - PDF96-16). Assignment of Unified Soil Classes (Wagner, 1957) is based on visual observation and interpretation of the likely distribution of the materials; no grain-size analyses were performed. Descriptions of unconsolidated deposits are modified from Pewe and Bel (1975a-d) and Pewe and Bell (1976). This map is generalized...

The geochemical analyses in this report result from the reanalysis of 932 archived stream-sediment pulps from the northern Fairbanks D-1, northern Fairbanks D-2, Fairbanks D-3 and southern Livengood A-1 and A-2 Quadrangles. The original geochemical data set included 1013 stream-sediment samples, (Albanese, 1982a-c).

This preliminary geologic map of the Fairbanks mining district was mapped at 1:63,360 scale. The report describes the geologic setting, structural geology, earthquake potential, economic geology and the description of bedrock units.
