An unusual feature of the map is designation of bedrock surface forms such as glacier-scoured bedrock, which indicates former glacier extents and flow directions, and erosional rock surfaces, which were created by downcutting of rivers or glacial meltwater streams.
The lake deposits are correlated by degree of postglacial modification and by distinctive upper limits that represent former surface levels.
Following deglaciation, downcutting by the Noatak River and its principal tributaries created extensive sets of alluvial terraces that continued to develop through much of Holocene time.
