• Project ID:

  1668

• Nickname/Abbreviation:

  Haines

• Status:

  Complete

• Description:

  The Haines-Klukwan-Porcupine subarea (a.k.a. Skagway subdistrict) of the Juneau Mining District (JMD) is located in the northern portion of the JMD and consists of the land between the Alaska-British Columbia boundary, the Chilkoot Valley, Glacier Bay National Park boundary, and extending south to the Davidson Glacier and the Chilkat Peninsula and Islands. This area was studied as part of the larger JMD study in a cooperative effort between the DGGS and USBM during 1985 to1988. Prior to this, during 1984, DGGS and USBM cooperated in a study of the Porcupine mining area and during 1981-1983 conducted separate studies in the area.
