Reuben Kachadoorian 1956 <p>A geological examination of the Nenana-Rex area, Alaska, was made during August, 1954 by a Geological Survey party consisting of Reuben Kachadoorian, geologist, and Lloyd Plafker, field assistant. The area examined lies in parts of the Fairbanks A-4, A-5, B-4, B-5, C-4 and C-5 quadrangles (fig. 1). A preliminary highway route and the Alaska Railroad cross the area mapped. The preliminary highway route, surveyed in the summer of by the Alaska Road Commission, is a segment of a proposed road from Fairbanks to McKinley Park (pl. 1).</p><p>The area was mapped with special emphasis placed upon geologic factors that would affect construction of the new highway. This report is a result of the studies along the highway and railroad routes, and describes only those areas that are of immediate importance in planning and construction of the highway (pl. 1).</p> application/pdf 10.3133/ofr5667 en U.S. Geological Survey Engineering geology of the Nenana-Rex area, Alaska reports
