Summary
The author has identified the following significant results. A mosaic of ERTS-1 imagery for a portion of interior Alaska covering approximately 57,000 sq km has proved to be a valuable tool in identifying structural elements previously not recognized. Mapped faults are clearly recognizable and are found to be part of a larger system of faults and lineaments identified on the imagery. A previously unrecognized set of conjugate fractures imply regional compression in a NNW-SSE direction in agreement with known fault dislocations. Earthquakes have a marked tendency to occur at intersections of lineaments seen on the imagery.
