| Abstract | Canadian Geoscience Map 118 depicts the surficial geology over some 790 km2 covered by the Stanislas Creek map sheet (NTS 94-O/16) in northeastern British Columbia. The map area is drained by the
Fortune and Stanislas creeks and their tributaries which flow north into the northwest-draining Petitot River. Bedrock is mantled by unconsolidated earth materials dating to the Late Pleistocene (Late Wisconsinan Glaciation, > 25 ka to ca. 10 ka) and
non-glacial Holocene (ca. 10 ka to present). Deposits of till, green on the map, are generally suitable for placement of infrastructure. Glaciofluvial deposits with mineral, aggregate, and groundwater potential are coloured orange. Slopes disturbed
by landslides, debris flows, and rock falls appear brown and pink. Glaciolacustrine and organic deposits with sporadically discontinuous permafrost are coloured purple and grey. Alluvial deposits prone to flooding, erosion, and sedimentation appear
yellow on the map. |
| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
As natural resource development expands in northeastern British Columbia, up-to-date geological information will be needed to reduce the economic costs
and environmental risks of developing new sources of energy and minerals. Canadian Geoscience Map 118 was produced as part of the Geo-Mapping for Energy and Minerals Yukon Basins Project to help meet this demand. The map, legend and accompanying
notes incorporate past research with new observations and interpretation of satellite images to provide new insights into distribution, nature, origin and resource potential of earth surface materials and geological hazards on the Stanislas Creek map
sheet (NTS 94O-016). CGM 118 is intended for use by governments, universities, resource companies, environmental consultants, First Nations communities, municipalities and the general public. |
