The Alberga 4-mile military sheet, situated in the far northeast of the State is bounded by 132° to 133°. E longitude and 26° to 27° S latitude. It embodies the following 1 mile sheets: Giles, Eranbella, Indulkana, Kenmore, Alourra, Moorilyanna, Esteringinna, Marryat, Officer, Robe, De Rose, Paroorm. Giles, Ernabella and Indulkana were published in 1955 and the Alberga 4-mile in 1959. The mapping of the area was carried out in 1955 in conjunction with the search for uranium mineralisation, using Department of Lands photos of scale 60 chaise = 1 inch. The Alberga area consists mainly of granitic rocks of probable Archaean age. In the southeast Upper Proterozoic glacigage rocks occur. Overlying them with a strong angular unconformity is a flat lying series of area sediments which lithologically indicate correlaties with the Ordovician of Central Australia. Flat topped residuals of Tertiary of Cretaceous age occur in the eastern part of the area.
