Revised Geological Bibliography of the Juneau Project Area, Alaska United States Department of the Interior Geological Survey REVISED GEOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE JUNEAU PROJECT AREA, ALASKA By Diane C.

Douglass, and David A. Brew Introduction This bibliography on the geology and related subjects in the Juneau area is an updated revision of the U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 84-564 by Susan L. Douglass and Edward H. Cobb. The bibliography was prepared as background for studies of the area as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Alaskan mineral-resource assessment program. The project area (fig. 1) includes the Juneau, Taku River, Atlin, and part of the Skagway 1:250,000 scale quadrangles; it covers the mainland west of the U.S.-Canadian International boundary near Juneau and Skagway, the Chilkat Range, the easternmost portion of Glacier Bay National Monument, and the northern portions of Chichagof and Admiralty Islands. The bibliography also includes selected references on the general geology of southeastern Alaska that have a bearing on the geology of the Juneau area. From the late 1800's on the Juneau area has had a lengthy and well-known history of prospecting, mining exploration and development, and ore production, chiefly of gold. As a result there is abundant literature on the resources in the area. Sources for this compilation include (1) Geo-Ref computer data files; (2) State of Alaska and U.S. Geological Survey publications; (3) published bib­ liographies; and (4) reference files of the late Edward H. Cobb (U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, CA): all of which provided a nucleus for further search of the literature. We have also included a number of private reports that have been cited as references by the U.S. Bureau of Mines in their Open-File Reports, even though they are available at only one or a few localities. 50 100 Ml _i 50 100 KM 135° 132° 130C I/___iJ DIXON ENTRANCEf PRINCE Figure 1.-Location of the Juneau project area, Alaska. 2a Reference Topic Code In order to facilitate searches of the literature, the references in this bibliography have been categorized into one or two of the general topic areas listed below: G = General geological papers and maps, geography, sedimentology, stratigraphy, and paleontology. I = Igneous and metamorphic geology. M = Mineral industry and mining reports, including examinations of mining claims and prospects. P = Geophysics: aeromagnetic, gravity, heat flow, and earthquake studies. Q = Quaternary geology, glaciology, hydrology, paleoclimatology. R = Mineral resources: occurrence, geology, and geochemistry of mineral deposits. S = Structural geology and plate tectonics. An * after the topic code letter(s) indicates that the reference is an important source of information for that topic area.

    Taneah Vaughn [email protected] www.mydreamvacationz-travel.com 877-308-6670 | 832-930-4519 JUNEAU, AK OVERVIEW Introduction Juneau, Alaska, enjoys a majestic setting in a narrow fjord with Mount Juneau and Mount Roberts towering above it. To the east is the vast expanse of glacial ice known as the Juneau Icefield, and to the west are the wilderness islands of the Inside Passage. Because of the natural beauty that surrounds the city—as well as its gold-rush-era buildings and many shops—this state capital is a popular tourist destination. In fact, Juneau is visited by more cruise ships than any other port in Alaska. Sights—Mendenhall Glacier, Nugget Falls and the visitors center; the view of Juneau from the top of Mount Roberts Tramway; a flight over the Juneau Icefield; a floatplane excursion past glaciers; bears at Pack Creek Brown Bear Preserve on Admiralty Island; whale-watching; seeing the glacier calve at Tracy Arm Fjord. Museums—Relics from gold-rush days at the Juneau-Douglas City Museum; maps of the mine tunnels and gold-mining equipment at the Last Chance Mining Museum. Memorable Meals—An authentic salmon feast at Gold Creek Salmon Bake or at the Taku Glacier Lodge Flight and Feast; king crab legs and rich crab bisque at Tracy's King Crab Shack; barbecued king-salmon burgers at Twisted Fish Co. Alaskan Grill. Late Night—Live local music at the Alaskan Hotel & Bar; views of the water and floatplanes at Hangar on the Wharf; an old- timey sing-along at the Red Dog Saloon; The Island Pub in Douglas.

Cabins are sold per trip, not per person. Cabins and car deck space fill up quickly so reservations are highly recommended. Passengers can also lay out under the solarium, a heated area on deck with unimpeded views, or for a unique adventure, pitch a tent and camp out under the stars. From the deck of the ships, riders can enjoy the view of vivid blue glaciers, snow-capped mountains, active vol- canoes, majestic fjords and lush green forests. Passengers will also find ample opportunities to view wildlife such as porpoise, bald eagles, sea otters, whales and perhaps even bears along the coastline. © AMHS © AMHS © AMHS Book your trip now at www.FerryAlaska.com or The Alaska Marine Highway The Alaska Marine Highway is a state-owned ferry system that operates a fleet of vessels along a scenic route from Washington State to Southwest Alaska.
