Description
Reconnaissance engineering geology of the Haines area, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards, Open-File Report 72-229, presents results from the evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards throughout the Haines, Alaska, urban area. The map area covers parts of the Skagway B-2 and A-2 quadrangles. The evaluation of geologic hazards was based upon a reconnaissance study of 17 square miles of land during two weeks of fieldwork during July 1965 and June 1968. The map and tables in the accompanying report show the distribution of the geologic formations, some of their physical properties, uses, and probable reactions to a severe earthquake. The map and report aimed to provide broad guidelines that would be useful for city and land-use planning. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/10950.
