Geologic setting

Geologic description

An unpublished National Park Service map and accompanying database identify this as a copper prospect. Bedrock in this drainage is dominantly Permian argillite and siliceous siltstone that is intruded by abundant gabbro dikes, sills, and irregular bodies that are inferred to be Triassic in age (Richter, 1971 [I-656]; 1976). Triassic, Nikolai Greenstone makes up the bedrock in the headwaters of Camp Creek, where there is a copper occurrence (NB025).
