  • Geologic Map of the Ketchikan and Prince Rupert Quadrangles, Southeastern Alaska
    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1807 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE KETCHIKAN AND PRINCE RUPERT QUADRANGLES, SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA By Henry C. Berg, Raymond L. Elliott, and Richard D. Koch INTRODUCTION This pamphlet and accompanying map sheet describe the geology of the Ketchikan and Prince Rupert quadrangles in southeastern Alaska (fig. 1). The report is chiefly the result of a reconnaissance investigation of the geology and mineral re­ sources of the quadrangles by the U.S. Geological Survey dur­ ing 1975-1977 (Berg, 1982; Berg and others, 1978 a, b), but it also incorporates the results of earlier work and of more re­ cent reconnaissance and topical geologic studies in the area (fig. 2). We gratefully acknowledge the dedicated pioneering photointerpretive studies by the late William H. (Hank) Con­ don, who compiled the first 1:250,000-scale reconnaissance geologic map (unpublished) of the Ketchikan quadrangle in the 1950's and who introduced the senior author to the study 130' area in 1956. 57'L__r-'-'~~~;:::::::,~~.::::r----, Classification and nomenclature in this report mainly fol­ low those of Turner (1981) for metamorphic rocks, Turner and Verhoogen (1960) for plutonic rocks, and Williams and others (1982) for sedimentary rocks and extrusive igneous rocks. Throughout this report we assign metamorphic ages to various rock units and emplacement ages to plutons largely on the basis of potassium-argon (K-Ar) and lead-uranium (Pb-U) (zircon) isotopic studies of rocks in the Ketchikan and Prince Rupert quadrangles (table 1) and in adjacent areas.

For thousands of miles the coast is a John Burroughs, John Muir, et al. continuous Alaska-The Harriman Expedition panorama. 1899 isty Fjords National Monument was established in 1978 by presidential proclamation. The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 designated almost all of the monument as Wilderness. The monument protects cultural, ecological, geological, historic, prehistoric, scientific, recreational, and wilderness values. Quite literally, the very foundation of this special place is its bedrock geology, its geomorphic landforms, and their continuing changes. Some changes we can see, others happen deep beneath the monument’s surface. The wildlife, hemlock and spruce forests, and abundant fish of the surrounding sea are greatly affected by these geologic shifts. This is the story of the land we call Misty Fjords—how it has come to be what it is today, and what it might be tomorrow.
