Map of Major Calcareous Deposits

This map was derived from state geologic maps, Atlas of Canada, Beikman (AK), as interpreted (possibly inaccurately, especially, alas, in California) by me. I-ll include more details later. Here’s a full-size TIFF (12Mb).

This map looks pretty dubious to me. The Kenai Peninsula and Kodiak don’t have calcareous bedrock, as indicated by the map. There is some limestone in Interior Alaska and in Southeast, but I doubt that it is as extensive as shown on the map. It might be good to leave this map off the webiste until you get more accurate information. Ed Berg
