This report was prepared to assist in the planning of seismic profiles to be run across the anticlinorium in the vicinity pf the Kiligwa River. The stratigraphy and structure of the mapped area south of the anticlinorium are reviewed.
In 1952 the National Park Service became interested in setting aside a large wilderness area in northeastern Alaska. The area is approximately 7,000 square miles in size, with boundaries as follows: beginning at Camden Bay south along the Katakturuk River to lat. 68° N.; then east to long. 144° 33' W.; south to lat. 68° N.; then east to the Canadian Boundary. The two river areas which the Park Service is most interested in examining for ecology, botany, archaeology, and geology are the upper Firth and Kongakut Rivers.
