border: A polygon that encompasses the geographic extent of the data observations. Stations: A point file that provides location information, observations, symbology, and other data specific to each field observation station. OrientationPoints: A point file that provides field station locations, symbology, and associated structure data (bedding attitudes, foliation attitudes, slip vectors measured at a point, etc.) for a subset of the records presented in the related Stations table.

DGGS conducted a multi-year project (from 2006 through 2010) studying the geology and geologic hazards along the Alaska Highway corridor. As part of the bedrock geologic mapping, traverses were conducted in the corridor on the north side of Granite Mountain. DGGS is publishing bedrock geologic maps of the Alaska Highway corridor farther east, from the Little Gerstle River area to the Canada border as three separate maps (Werdon and others, in press, Little Gerstle River to Dot Lake; Werdon and others, in press, Dot Lake to Tetlin Junction; Solie and others, in press, Tetlin Junction to Canada border). This report covers bedrock geologic observations between Delta Junction and Little Gerstle River, for an area not included in the map areas described above.

Data sources used in this process:
This data release provides uninterpreted field data. The report and files were lightly reviewed by an additional geologist familiar with the subject matter. We incorporated the reviewer's suggestions into the final draft.
The horizontal position error of sample locations in this report is in the range of 6 meters.
DGGS does not anticipate conducting additional work pertaining to the Granite Mountain study area.
