Relief is shown by contour lines in brown, which on a few maps are supplemented by shading showing the effect of light thrown from the northwest across the area represented, for the purpose of giving the appearance of relief and thus aiding in the interpretation of the contour lines. A contour line represents an imaginary line on the ground (a contour) every part of which is at the same altitude above sea level. Such a line could be drawn at any altitude, but in practice only the contours at certain regular intervals of altitude are shown. The datum or zero of altitude of the Geological Survey maps is mean sea level. The 20-foot contour would be the shore line if the sea should rise 20 feet above mean sea level. Contour lines[[/upside-down]] of 20 to 250 feet. The aerial camera is now being used in mapping. From [[this]] information recorded on the photographs, planimetric [[maps]] which show only drainage and culture, have been made for some areas in the United States. By the use of stereoscopic [[plotting]] apparatus, aerial photographs are utilized also in the making [[of]] the regular topographic maps, which show relief as well [[as]] drainage and culture. A topographic survey of Alaska has been in progress [[since]] 1898, and nearly 44 percent of its area has now been [[mapped.]] About 15 percent of the Territory has been covered by [[maps]] on a scale of [[1 over 500,000]] (1 inch = nearly 8 miles).

Examined the spurs jutting N from low hill with two knobs 5050 and 5600. The rock on these slopes is very massive and suggests the lower Skinner Ranch to me. It is much dolomitized and only fossils seen are sections of snails and crinoid stems. Massiveness of the rock suggests Skinner Ranch. The rock extends to the creek. Saw nothing to indicate real Hess lithology. I think the north slope of this ridge from its west end to the flat place in the hill 5000' is all basal Skinner Ranch much altered by dolomitization probably from intrusions, one of which occurs near the end of the long spur

991 [[circled]]7[[/circled]] 7300,p.q. Went to see fault on NE nose of hill 5250 (contour). The fault is very conspicuous. A long section is exposed on the west face of this hill consisting of a considerable thickness of ribbon -banded, platy light gray - weathering limestone. That breaks into plates which litter the slope. Some plates have an orange siliceous shin, and a small amount of siliceous shale appears. This platy material is capped by clastic and biohermal limestone with Phipidomella hesseusis and Spyidiophora. Thickness not determined. Above the Spyidiphora bed which extend down the slope of the spur are CM type of beds which are followed by biohermal beds, thickness not yet determined which belong to my locality 708 = dustitella beds. I think we have here a passage interval to the Hess; the platy beds representing middle Skinner Ranch passing into Hess lithology and then up Skinner ranch with Spyindiophora = to the Bill Neal member.

995 [[circled]]11[[/circled]] Ammonites occur often in musty siliceous skins. The striking feature of this section is the almost complete lack of brachiopods and no patches of brachiopods were seen. Had a futile day because we could not rediscover the 723w locality. It was very foggy and cold; could not locate ourselves because we could not see the topography. Nevertheless it is absolutely clear that the beds on west side of Gilliland Canyon are Word #3 and not Word #1. They are more sandy on the west side of the canyon than on the east but there is considerable sand on the east side. We saw few brachiopods on either side of the canyon. They are not as abundant as in the Word 3 farther east, i.e. in Hess Canyon. We visited 721u which is N80[[degree symbol]] E of hill 4910. 7210 is N 70[[degree symbol]] E and is north of 721u.

At about same level as 730z which came from the shale. The lens is 30 - 35' below Word #3 and seems almost identical to 723W. The lithology is the same and the fossils similar. Waagenoceras present. Under the Word #3 is thin, yellow fissile shale with occasional small limy lenses with fusulines and other fossils. One of these is 730z taken from 30' below the Word #3. This shale seems lighter yellow than that of the Leonard and it has no chert in it. Location of 731m.

About 50' below this ledge came thick limestone. This is a 3' bed with Torynechus. About 30' is another massive ls and in between is chert. This upper bed contains many corals thin and long. E Thick scattered massive granular ls with scattered quartz pebbles up to 1". It is about 10' thick and contains small corals. Also has thick layers 4 - 6" of chert. Beneath E is about Bed C may be to of SKR. The chert on it is more orange than that below.

1001 [[encircled]] 17 [[/encircled]] Bed A[[superscript]] 1 [[/superscript]] higher up slope near top of hill has Oncosiuna [[?]] or something new. A[[superscript]] 2 [[/superscript]] - Divide between two main gullies has contact of SKR and CM. SKR has siliceous skin and contains Torynechus. Very uppermost bed is a cgl. with ls pebbles. Small corals common. Lower quartz pebbles of 1/2 inch are scattered in the rock. Some layers of brown chert appear below the top but all are thin. Large crinoid skins Heliospongia 2 limestones stones appear in the lower 50' of the Cathedral Mtn. but they do not seem typical CM. Found Peniculauris and Chonosteges but nothing diagnostic. Upper bed 3' thick with a 3' siliceous skin We walked the top bed of the SR from the Mtn. top around to our locality A[[superscript]] 1 [[/superscript]] and the top is actually bed E which has at least 25' of chert under it. It is evident that the cherty beds thin into the mountain to the east. Possibly there is convergence of the Torynechus beds toward Leonard Mtn.

1002 [[circled]] 18 [[/circled]] What we saw on hill 5280 suggest that some of the SKR cherts are pinched out to the east so that the Mountain front presents a complete limy face. Furthermore we found Torynechus common at the top of the SKR and for some 50' or so below. It also occurs in 2 layers in the beds above it, in what is lithologically like Cathedral Mtn. I suspect that these limestones belong to the SKR rather than to the beds above. These may converge eastward to make the Torynechus beds on Leonard Mtn.

1003 [[encircled]] 19 [[/encircled]] April 2- King locality 104 Dolomite with scattered crinoid debris. On east side of King's 104 we saw evidence of faulting, baked rock, schistose rock, Thick calcite veins, color change, dolomitic rock. All this added to a drastic dip change suggests fault. Furthermore, under the cgl. with Institella comes extremely massive coarse calcarenite that I believe to be Skinner Ranch. The situation seems to be nearly the same as that at 708. Hess horst at East end A2 [[superscript]] 1 [[/superscript]] - the Lenox Hills cgl. crosses the divide just east of the igneous body and the fault is on the S side of the divide. The fault must run along the south side of the igneous body and the east side of the divide. Thus the conical hill must be blocked on 3 sides by faults, the southernmost fault taking in localities King 104 and 708. The fault along the south side of the igneous body must join the fault on the south side. ^[[of the conical hill]] The bulk of the conical hill must certainly be Skinner Ranch (high)

1004 [[encircled in margin]] 20 [[/encircled]] A2^3 Hess Ranch Horst Fault crosses stream on E side conical hill 750 feet upstream from road. Large bioherm at junction of road and main stream. 2 probable Institella Under this a few feet from the road (50') in stream is platy yellow shale. A large myalira [[?]] [[c?]] like those from Split Tank was seen. The bluff is almost certainly Institella. Mouth of Road Canyon 731p- very end of the hill at E end Road Canyon has a knob of unfossiliferous Word #3. Under the Word #3 is a small hump almost completely composed of fusulinids. It also contains some brachiopods, Richthofenids, productids & large Derbyia. This looks like the lens 30' under Word #3 on Thursday morning =731m. 7 of these lenses below the main knob. A2^4 - Word #3 consisting of blocky light gray sandy limestone with chert nodules and some yellowish chert skins on blocks 70' thick forming crest of hill. All types of fossil are extremely rare. On slope up to top of hill saw numerous pieces of rock from lenses

1005 [[encircled]] 21 [[/encircled]] like those of 731p. These are full of fusulinids. Coming down the slope from top we were impressed by the fact that the flattish slabs of Word #3 are mainly confined to the upper slopes and no yellow shale shows. Where the slopes flatten the yellow shale appears but virtually no drift from Word #3 appears. It is unlikely that we picked up any contamination from above. Contamination may come from limey lenses just above Road Canyon but these have mostly Road Canyon types. At the end of the outcrop the upper Road Canyon is sparsely fossiliferous and is somewhat suggestive of higher Word. Perrinites is on the slope just west of 721j. The lower slopes above the Road Canyon at and around 721j are covered wholly by shale. No float from the top appears. It seems improbable that any Word # has been picked up as Road Canyon.

1010 [[left margin encircled]] 26 [[/left margin encircled]] Our wanderings of April 3 over the east end of the Lenox Hills did not produce any definite trace of the Institella beds. The Spynidiophora just above the SKR I think belongs rather to the SKR than above. The beds at 731t have fossils suggestive of Leonard #2 but we saw nothing to clinch this. April 4 Lenox Hills - South 714w - N10W of Pinnacle Hill with Leonard Z. From Hill 5300 have [[left margin encircled vertical]] check 723w [[/left margin encircled vertical]] N60E.

Above the ammonite bed we walked for about 0.2 mile in yellow platy shale to the base of the big hill. Here the platy shale gave way to soft gray shale with small ball - like concretions like those seen on Sullivan Peak slope. It also had large bituminous concretions, some with black encrustations where fractured. The higher up we went the more sandstone we encountered in very thick beds. No float with fusulinids was seen on this very steep hill. At 732g (which Garner has) some fusulinids were taken in concretions. Some Ammonites were present but nothing that could be collected. The Road Canyon on these hills had little Biohermal material and many of the limestones are separated by shales or cherts suggesting that here the Road Canyon may be fraying out.

After considerable discussion she lead us to the place and we found the locality with ease. Here a cuesta faces southeast with a bold face. In front of this are dark shales of the alta formation that form the flat in front of the cuesta. These pass up into thick series of sandstones. The sandstones make up nearly the entire face of the cuesta except for the top. On the crest of the hill and on the NW slope for about 1/3 the distance down the slope are greatly altered unbedded, massive limestone which suggests bioherms like those seen in Alta creek forming the bluff along the creek.

This rock which is suggestive of the beds above the bioherms at Cibolo creek extends to base of hill where it is in contact with yellow brown siliceous, thin-bedded rock strongly suggestive of the Word. The dark thin-bedded rock above the "bioherms" contains thin layers of limestone and some concretions both often with numerous fusulinids but no other good fossils were seen. The top most yellow beds also contain large black limestone concretions but they are without fossils. These beds are on the south part of the W.E. Love Ranch which is called the Dipper Ranch.
