Description:
This dataset consists of a geo-referenced digital map and attribute data derived from the publication "Permafrost map of Alaska."

The map is presented at a scale of 1:2,500,000 and shows the correlation of physiographic province to presence of permafrost across the state of Alaska.

The provinces are represented by polygons. The linework was captured by hand digitizing the source map, Ferrians, O.J., 1965, Permafrost map of Alaska: U.S. Geological Survey Miscellaneous Geologic Investigations Map I-445. Scale 1:2,500,000.
