  • Mineral Investigations in the Porcupine River Drainage, Alaska
    MINERAL INVESTIGATIONS IN THE PORCUPINE RIVER DRAINAGE, ALASKA By James C. Barker Alaska Field Operation Center, Fairbanks, Alaska * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Open File Report 27-81 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR James G. Watt, Secretary BUREAU OF MINES TN 23 .U44 8 1-27 UNITED STATES BUREAU OF MINES JAMES BOYD MEMORIAL LIBRARY FOREWORD This is one of a series of reports that present the findings of reconnaissance-type mineral assessments of certain lands in Alaska. It is important to remember that Alaska has not been seriously prospected for minerals other than gold--except in a few relatively limited areas. These reports include data developed by both contract and Bureau studies; frequently a combination of both. Assessing an area for its potential for buried mineral deposits is by far the most difficult of all natural resource assess- ments. This becomes more apparent when considering that no two deposits even of the same genesis and host rock conditions are identical. Moreover, judgments prior to drilling, the ultimate test, frequently vary among evaluators and continue to change as more detailed studies add to the understanding. Included in these reports are estimates of the relative favor- ability for discovering metalic and related nonmetallic mineral deposits similar to those mined elsewhere. Favorability is estimated by evaluation of visible outcrops, and analyses of sampling data, including mineralogic characteristics and associ- ated elements, in combination with an evaluation of the pro- cesses that have formed the rocks in which they occur. Essent- ially, it is a comparison of a related series of prospects and the environment in which they occur with the mineral deposits and environments in well-known mining districts.

The Porcupine River is a 472-mile-long free-flowing, unpolluted river that originates in Canada. The study area comprises the 212-mile segment I from the Canadian-U .S. border to its mouth on the Yukon River. This entire river segment is eligible for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

  • Environmental and Cultural Overview of the Yukon Flats Region Prepared By: Kevin Bailey, USFWS Archaeologist Date: 2/12/2015 In
    Environmental and Cultural Overview of the Yukon Flats Region Prepared by: Kevin Bailey, USFWS Archaeologist Date: 2/12/2015 Introduction With a substantial population of Native people residing in their traditional homeland and living a modern traditional lifestyle, the Yukon Flats Refuge and all of the Alaskan Interior is a dynamic and living cultural landscape. The land, people, and wildlife form a tight, interrelated web of relationships extending thousands of years into the past. Natural features and human created “sites” form a landscape of meaning to the modern residents. The places and their meanings are highly relevant to modern residents, not just for people and culture but for the land. To many Gwich’in people culture is not distinct from their homeland. Although only minimally discussed in this overview, this dynamic living cultural landscape should be considered and discussed when writing about this area. Environmental Setting Containing the largest interior basin in Alaska, the Yukon Flats Refuge encompasses over 11 million acres of land in east central Alaska. Extending roughly 220 miles east-west along the Arctic Circle, the refuge lies between the Brooks Range to the north, and the White-Crazy Mountains to the south. The pipeline corridor runs along the refuge’s western boundary while the eastern boundary extends within 30 miles of the Canadian border. The Yukon River bisects the refuge, creating the dominant terrain. As many as 40,000 lakes, ponds, and streams may occur on the refuge, most concentrated in the flood plain along the Yukon and other rivers. Upland terrain, where lakes are less abundant, is the source of important drainage systems.

Forest community classification of the Porcupine River drainage, interior Alaska, and its application to forest management. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-154. Port- land, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station; 1983. 68 p. The forest vegetation of 3 600 000 hectares in northeast interior Alaska was classified. A total of 365 plots located in a stratified random design were run through the ordination programs SIMORD and TWINSPAN. A total of 40 forest communities were described vegetatively and, to a limited extent, environmentally. The area covered by each commu- nity was similar, ranging from 0.29 to 4.29 percent. A large number of mixed spruce communities were described and suggested to be the result of the study area’s proximity to the northern limit of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.). Average aboveground tree biomass and productivity were estimated for each community. Values for trees ranged from 0.2 kilogram per square meter aboveground biomass and 4.0 grams per square meter per year mean annual increment for a woodland black spruce Community to 23.4 kilograms per square meter and 195 grams per square meter per year for a closed white spruce community.

  • \ Preliminary Report on the Sheenjek River ( District
    \ PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE SHEENJEK RIVER ( DISTRICT By J. B. MERTIE, Jr. INTRODUCTION Fort Yukon, at the confluence of Porcupine and Yukon Rivers, at north latitude 66° 34' and west longitude 145° 18', is the natural point of entry into a great unmapped area, with an extent of more than 60,000 square miles, in northeastern Alaska. (See fig. 2.) This area includes the territory southeast, east, and northeast of Fort Yukon to the international boundary, and north and northwest to the Arctic Ocean, with the exception of the Canning River district.1 About one-third of this unmapped area is drained by Porcupine River and its tributaries, among the larger of which are Sheenjek (Salmon) and Coleen (Succor) Rivers, from the north, and Black and Little Black Rivers, from the east. Sheen jek River, with which this paper is concerned, heads in the Brooks Range and runs in a general southerly direction to the Porcupine, which it joins about 45 miles by river from the mouth of that stream. During the sum­ mer of 1926 a Geological Survey expedition, comprising four men with two canoes, worked up Sheenjek River almost to its forks, map­ ping the valley on both sides of the river as far as travel was practicable. On account of injuries incurred by two members of the party this work was discontinued in mid-season, but an area of about 1,000 square miles was covered, as shown on Plate 2. The exact geodetic position of the mapped area is not well established, because the hurried return trip made it impossible to carry a traverse down through the Porcupine and Yukon Flats into Fort Yukon, whose geo­ detic position is established.
