ANCHORAGE QUAD
MAP, REPORT ARE
NOW IN OPEN FILE
A preliminary geologic map ana
report of the Anchorage quadrangle
and that part of the Knik quad
rangle east of Knk Arm are now on
open file in the local Geological
Survey office for those interest
ed in them, William Twenhcfel,
geologist-in-charge of the local of
fice, announces.
The surficial geology of the area
was mapped in 1949 and is shown
on a scale of one inch equal to a
mile, with contour intervals of 50
feet. The mimeographed text ac
companying the map is an expand
ed explanation describing the geo
logic units that are shown on the
map. As all rock samples taken
have not yet been tested and some
additional information still needs
to be gather, the explanation is
necessarily incomplete. Selected test
data <|:i physical p 1 perties oi
seme of the geologic units mapped
are presented in tabular form.
A significant part of the geologic
mapping in Anchorage and vicinity
is shewn on the preliminary map
and will not be greatly modified.
As a geologic map is most useful
in the planning and development
stages of expanding communities
this preliminary version is being
made available to the general pub
lic now, in advance of completion
cf the final report.

Two More Oil Fields
Delevered, Barrow
j Reserve, Is Report
FAIRBANKS', Alaska, Oct. 10—011
! —The Navy has discovered two
more cil fields in its vast Point
Barrow reserve at the top of the
continent,
Cmdr, Millard Aubey, officer in
charge of construction in what is
known as "Pet Four”—Naval Pet
; roleum Reserve Number Four—has
made the disclosure here.
He said one lield was in the
! northern part of the 33,000 square
j mile reserve on th” Arct.c coast
; end the other on the southeastern
; border.
Aubey emphasized that productive
j ct parity of the wells has not been
[ determined. He said the Navy has
1 not made major discovery of petrol
eum in commercial quantity which
would be economically feasible to
produce and transport from the
remote areas in which they were
found.
The last find reported by the
Navy in "Pet Four" was a gas well
completed in April, 1949. Navy
spokesmen have been persistently
denying rumors of gushers in the
reserve ever since the project
started in August, 1944.
Preliminary surveys in the re
serve have indicated that produc
tion of 100,000 barrels cf crude oil
a day would sustain the field
commercially, but formidable prob
lems presented by inaccessibility of
the oil fields have prevented full
scale development cf what seme
experts said held promise of being
the largest untapped oil field in the
world.
The recent discoveries added new
zest to that promise.
