The Tanana A-1 and A-2 Quadrangles lie between the villages of Rampart, on the Yukon River, and Manley Hot Springs, at the terminus of the Elliott Highway. At the time the report was published, the area towns were not part of any municipal or local governmental jurisdiction. The investigation of gold, tin, and other mineral occurrences in conjunction with comprehensive geologic mapping and recently-acquired geophysical data will provide a scientific basis for expanded mineral exploration and development that can lead to the economic growth and the creation of new jobs needed by the Rampart-Manley-Tofty region's inhabitants and the State of Alaska. These objectives are consistent with the statewide goals and priorities articulated for the Department of Natural Resources by Alaska's Governor in his Executive Budget Summary for Fiscal Year 1997.

Data for surficial and materials point, line, and polygon data were determined in the field using 1:63,360-scale topographic maps and 1:50,000 (nominal) scale, color-infrared aerial photographs. Geologic data included in the compilation are the field maps and notes from this project as well as data from other sources as noted in the "Sources Cited" section. Attributes were verified for consistency and completeness during the creation of the metadata.
DGGS location data and estimated position errors were manually entered into a spreadsheet. Sample numbers and locations with selected data were spatially registered and analyzed in ArcGIS software. Location data for the surficial and materials maps were determined visually using topographic maps at a scale of 1:63,360 and 1:50,000 (nominal) scale, color-infrared aerial photographs. See "Source_Information" section for horizontal positional accuracy of locations not measured by DGGS.
This dataset includes geospatial information about engineering geologic units.
Polygon topology present and clean on appropriate data. Other data are line, point, or annotation data and do not require topologic relationships.
