Geo-mapping Frontiers: Updated information on the regions covered by Operations Baker, Bathurst, Keewatin, Northern Keewatin, Thelon and Wager; Nunavut and Northwest Territories: Legacy Traverse Maps, NTS 46: Geological Survey of Canada, Open File 7440. doi:10.4095/292750 Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: The Geo-mapping Frontiers project was initiated to improve geoscience knowledge in the least understood parts of Canada’s north. Open File 7440 is part of a series of open files, 7434 to 7448, produced during the Geo-mapping Frontiers project. The series contains legacy geology data and remote predictive mapping information for a large part of eastern mainland Nunavut, collected over 2 years. The derived data products from this work are presented in 15 separate thematic packages to keep the downloads to a manageable size, between 1 and 4 GB. ArcGIS users (version 9.3 and above) can download OF 7434 and any of the georeferenced raster data in the rest of the series. Users not interested in geodatabases will find data in shape files in Open Files 7434 and 7435, or in georeferenced raster data in the rest of the series. Open File 7440 contains scanned and georeferenced legacy traverse maps from Geological Survey of Canada fieldwork in the 1950’s to 1980’s, for various parts of the study area in NTS sheet 46. This is not a complete collection for the area. Many more legacy field maps in GSC archives remain to be scanned. This series of publications represents a compilation of available data sets for four regions, and their surrounding areas, that encompass a large part of eastern mainland Nunavut. Several interpretive Remote Predictive Mapping (RPM) layers are included. The data sets include airborne geophysics, LANDSAT 7 imagery, lake sediment analyses, as well as legacy mapping and sample data from the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) archives. This series is the first of a group of reports for the Geo-mapping Frontiers project, and is intended to provide a basis of knowledge for the entire region. Purpose: This work was undertaken to publish archival geological mapping data and more recently acquired geophysical and geochemical data, for a poorly documented part of Canada. Predictive maps were constructed from the compiled data, to aid in the understanding of the geology of this remote region. Lack of this geoscience information limits the ability to assess this very large area for future field mapping campaigns, and mineral exploration. Supplemental_Information: Data set is in English.
