After crossing the Susitna River the road extends across the glaciers outwash plains to the Nenana River, and then down the Nenana River to Cantwell on the George Parks Highway ( Alaska # 3 ).

The fall line marks the geologic boundary of hard metamorphosed terrain the product of the Taconic orogeny and the sandy, relatively flat outwash plain of the upper continental shelf, formed of unconsolidated Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments.

Bonneville sits at the juncture between the Swiss Voralpen and the French Prealps . to the west, the Arve valley is a wide and fertile outwash plain, while to the east, it is a classical glacial valley.
