Background information about the data

President Warren Harding created the Naval Petroleum Reserve Number 4 in 1923. It was renamed the National Petroleum Reserve, Alaska (NPRA) in 1976. Figure 1 is a map of the region and Figure 2 maps the lines collected and processed between 1974 and 1981. I selected and processed line 31-81 because it was a short line from the last acquisition season.
