Hayes C-1, C-2, D-1, and D-2 quadrangles. It is the westernmost of three bedrock-geologic maps along the Alaska Highway corridor. It is part of a multi-year project conducted by the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) between 2006 and 2013. The project focused on investigating and reporting the geology and geologic hazards of the corridor. Bedrock units were mapped and structural elements were measured in the field; where bedrock units are covered by surficial units and vegetation, units were interpreted using airborne-magnetic and electromagnetic surveys published by DGGS in 2006. Rock names were assigned based on field and petrographic observations, modal-mineral percentages, and interpretations of geochemical data. The complete report, geodatabase, and ESRI fonts and style files are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/30036.The Alaska Highway corridor project focused on investigating and reporting the geology and geologic hazards of the highway corridor.This geodatabase is organized according to the AK GeMS mapping schema Hendricks, M.D., Ekberg, P.G., Athey, J.E., Wyatt, W.C., Willingham, A.L., and Naibert, T.J., 2021, AK GeMS data dictionary: A description of the Alaska geologic mapping schema: Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys Miscellaneous Publication 170, 10 p. https://doi.org/10.14509/30669.
