Abstract

Recent interest in the anticlines near the headwaters of the Utukok River has prompted the issuance of two special reports. This, the first of the two reports, deals with the Driftwood anticlines, the second will consider the Awuna anticline and the western part of the Carbon Creek anticline. At present, only trimetrogon photography is available in this area. This limits the accuracy and completeness of the photographic studies. Vertical photos were flown this summer but they will probably not be available for study before the November meeting. At such time as they are retrieved a more thorough photo investigation will be made.

Regional interpretation of the geology of the Kongakut - Firth Rivers area, Alaska

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.
