Reger, R.D., Stevens, D.S.P., and Solie, D.N., 200812, Surficial-geologic map, Alaska Highway corridor, Delta Junction to Dot Lake, Alaska: State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys, http://dx.doi.org/10.14509/17961.
Summary
During 2006 and 2007 the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys conducted reconnaissance surficial-geologic mapping in segment 1 of the Alaska Highway corridor, which straddles the Alaska Highway through the Tanana River valley from Delta Junction to the eastern boundary of the Mt. Hayes Quadrangle. Surficial-geologic deposits were initially mapped by interpreting ~1:63,360-scale, false-color infrared aerial photographs taken in August 1980 and field verified in 2006-2007.

This report and map are a part of ADGGS's Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Geology and Geohazards project, mapping the surificial-geologic deposits along the the Alaska Highway between Delta Junction and Dot Lake. The study was done in anticipation of the proposed natural gas pipeline along the Alaska Highway corridor, to further the geologic understanding of the area andas a basis for evaluating geohazards for proposed infrastructure.
