The area is part of the Manley Hot Springs-Tofty mining districts and adjacent to the Rampart mining district to the south of the Tanana B-1 Quadrangle. This report includes detailed bedrock, structural, and stratigraphic data. The Tanana A-1 and A-2 Quadrangles and surrounding area comprise several isolated mountainous ridges in the western Yukon-Tanana Upland of interior Alaska. 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.

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. Polygon topology present and clean on appropriate data. Other data are line, point, or annotation data and do not require topologic relationships. This dataset includes geospatial information about geologic units, their age, and field sample locations, structural features, structural measurements, and geology interpreted from airborne geophysics. 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. See "Source_Information" section for horizontal positional accuracy of locations not measured by DGGS. 100 A value of estimated position error in meters was calculated by the GPS units and recorded for each sample location. This error results from items such as error in satellite positions, mathematical error introduced by the formulas used by the GPS unit for calculating position, and errors caused by narrow satellite alignments. Estimated position error is a value determined by the GPS manufacturer for the calculation and geometric error as a whole. "Selective availability," a deliberate degradation of GPS data managed by the U.S. government that induces an additional error of approximately 100 meters to a GPS location, was in effect until May 1, 2000, and thus during the time of this field work. 110 A value of estimated position error in meters. The bedrock field maps were digitized using a map tablet and cross-hair mouse. Map error is induced by: (1) transferring map data from base topography to a mylar compilation map, with an estimated potential error due to a pen line width of approximately 0.001 being equivalent to approximately 1.5 meters on the ground; (2) the digitizing RMS error [24 control points on a regular grid have an average RMS error of 10.8 meters on the ground; individual control point error ranges from 4.3 to 21.2 meters on the ground]; and (3) the accuracy of the human operator digitizing the geologic line work from the topographic base map, with an estimated error due to a pen line width of approximately 0.001 being equivalent to approximately 1.5 meters on the ground.

Field work - Field work for bedrock investigations, including ridge traverses and examination of riverbank exposures, was conducted between June 16 and July 8, 1997. Field notes and rock samples were collected at approximately 700 stations throughout the Tanana A1 and A2 Quadrangles. Bedrock mappers recorded observations on 1:50,000 and 1:63,360-scale topographic base maps, compiled onto a 1:50,000-scale mylar map after the field season ended. Field stations were located using hand held GPS units. Field station notes and GPS location data were manually entered into a spreadsheet. 1997 Digital Cartography - Bedrock point data of locations of structural observations (strike, dip, cleavage, jointing, etc.) were intersected with the surficial-geologic polygon coverage using the Arc command "intersect" in order to identify locations that were mapped as surficial materials based on aerial photography but were found to have small exposures that were desirable to be mapped as bedrock. These areas were then modified in the surficial-geologic coverages to be areas of bedrock exposure. Final bedrock and surficial geology polygon coverages were merged using the Arc command "union" to generate the polygon coverage used to make the comprehensive geologic map. Other cartographic elements, primarily text and tables, were created in CorelDraw, converted to CGM format, and imported into ArcPlot for final layout. 1997 Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000064 0.000064 meters tana1geo_polygon Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000064 0.000064 meters tana1geo_arc Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000064 0.000064 meters tana2geo_polygon Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000064 0.000064 meters tana2geo_arc Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000008 0.000008 meters hflsa1_polygon Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000064 0.000064 meters hflsa2_polygon Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000064 0.000064 meters tana1str_arc Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000064 0.000064 meters tana2str_arc Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000032 0.000032 meters tana1fld_point Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000064 0.000064 meters tana1fld_arc Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000032 0.000032 meters tana2fld_point Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000064 0.000064 meters tana2fld_arc Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000005 0.000005 meters tana1bur_arc Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000032 0.000032 meters tana2bur_arc Universal Transverse Mercator 5 0.999600 -153.000000 0.000000 500000.000000 0.000000 coordinate pair 0.000064 0.000064 meters tana12_att_point D_Clarke_1866 Clarke 1866 6,378,206.4 294.978698 tana1geo_arc.shp Object type is vector, there are 131 rows associated with this entity, and the entity values refer to interpretive geologic bedrock unit contacts Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys tana1geo_arc CODE Line symbols for contacts, defined as boundaries between geologic formations or other rock units Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys 0 Hidden line, defines the polygon boundary, but is not displayed on the map for aesthetic purposes Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys 5 Contact Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys tana1geo_polygon.shp Object type is vector, there are 55 rows associated with this entity, and the entity values refer to interpretive geologic bedrock polygons Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys tana1geo_polygon BUNIT Interpretive geologic bedrock unit labels Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Kwcv Wilber Creek unit siliciclastic and volcaniclastic rocks (late Albian(?): Weber and others, 1992)-Very dark gray to dark greenish dark gray, volcanic clast-bearing, poorly sorted, sub-angular, medium- to coarse-grained, marine, argillaceous lithic sandstone, shale and siltstone.

Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Pzlca Chert and cherty argillite (Ordovician)-Heterogeneous unit composed dominantly of light gray to gray, thinly laminated, recrystallized sericitic chert and siliceous argillite, commonly with phyllitic argillite partings; "cherty argillite" typically has cherty or mylonitic aspect on weathered surfaces, but fine-grained elastic or recrystallized texture on fresh surfaces. Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Pzlv Volcanic unit (Ordovician)-Greenish-gray, chloritic and feldspathic rocks and greenstone. Protolith of volcanic rocks is volcaniclastic, tuffaceous, and flow rocks of basaltic to intermediate composition. Some rocks are diabasic and may be meta-intrusive rocks; the number of metavolcanic layers uncertain. Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Pzlo Orum limestone (Middle Ordovician to Neoproterozoic: informal name, Hopkins and Taber, unpublished manuscript)-Light to medium gray, tan to reddish brown-weathering, extensively recrystallized, typically thin- to medium-bedded lime mudstone. Unit is locally thick-bedded, and locally includes ooid grainstones and cryptalgal lamination. Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys PzPad Dolostone and limestone-White to light gray, massive-bedded, locally laminated, siliceous dolostone and medium gray to dark gray lime mudstone, in approximately equal amounts. Dolostone is typically extensively silicified and characterized by box-work silica network. Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys PzPac Cherty-argillite and chert-Heterogeneous unit of dominantly black to dark gray chert and siliceous to carbonaceous argillite with well-developed phyllitic to subphyllitic slate-like cleavage, and containing one or more dark gray limestone layers or lenses. The geochemical signature of this unit is typical of the chert in the Amy Creek unit (Haug and others, 1997) of Weber and others (1988). Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Tg Hot Springs granite pluton (58 Ma&Medium- to coarse-grained biotite granite and rare tourmaline-biotite granite. Outcrops as subdued, blocky rubble or a brown gruss. The dominant textural variety contains coarse-grained potassium feldspar (30 percent) in a matrix of medium-grained smoky quartz (30 percent), albitic plagioclase (30 percent), and slightly chloritized biotite (10 percent). Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Kmzd Monzodiorite- Black and white 'peppered', medium grained, subequigranular, alkalic plutonic rock lacking quartz and with more plagioclase than alkali feldspar. Mafic minerals (clinopyroxene > biotite > hornblende) commonly make up more than 50 percent of the rock. Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys JRc Carbonatite - (approximately 200 Ma) Medium to coarse grained, dolomite-calcite-magnetite-apatite-rich rock, which weathers to a deep red gossan and is characterized by an intense magnetic high. Occurs as two steeply-dipping sills (?) up to 30 m thick, which may be a single sill or dike that is repeated by isoclinal folding.
