Summary

During 2008-2010, the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys continued a program, begun in 2006, of reconnaissance mapping of surficial geology in the proposed natural-gas pipeline corridor through the upper Tanana River valley, a 12-mi-wide (19.3-km-wide) area that straddles the Alaska Highway through the upper Tanana River valley from the western boundaries of the Tanacross B-6 and C-6 Quadrangles near the mouth of the Robertson River eastward to the eastern boundaries of the Tanacross A-4 and B-4 Quadrangles near Tetlin Junction. Mapping during 2008-2010 in the Tanacross Quadrangle linked with mapping of surficial geology completed in the Big Delta and Mt. Hayes quadrangles in 2006-2007. Surficial geology was initially [...]

Purpose

The Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys conducted this project, funded by the state legislature, to evaluate the geology, geohazard and material resources along the Alaska Highway corridor from Delta Junction to the Canada border. This was in preparation for a proposed natural gas pipeline, so that a baseline of geologic data would be publicly available upon which preliminary decisions could be made. The work was designed to serve as the springboard for the detailed work which would be required if a pipeline were to be built along this corridor.
