Bedrock Topography of Peerless Lake Area, Alberta (NTS 84B) (GIS data, line features)

Description

The bedrock topography map of the Peerless Lake area (NTS 84B) shows the elevation of the bedrock surface. In general, the topography of the land surface reflects the bedrock topography. Thus, bedrock highs underlie the Buffalo Head Hills Upland, Peerless Lake Upland and Utikuma Uplands. Major buried valleys lie within the Loon River Lowland in the west-central part and within the Wabasca Lowlands in the south and northeast parts of the map area. The elevation of the bedrock surface ranges from 780 metres above sea level (masl) in the Buffalo Head Hills to 300 masl in the Loon River Lowland. Segments of three major buried valleys are present: the Muskwa Valley in the south, the Red Earth Valley in the Loon River Lowland and Gods Valley in the northeast. The exact shape of these bedrock valleys and their relationships in the areas where they appear to merge is uncertain as a consequence of the scarcity of relevant drillholes. The Muskwa Valley trends westward towards Lubicon Lake and...

Surficial Geology of the Peerless Lake Area, Alberta (NTS 84B) (GIS data, line features)

Description

This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the NTS map area 84B (line features). The 1:250 000 scale dataset was compiled from four published 1:100 000 scale maps (AGS maps 265, 266, 267... More ≫

Description

This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the NTS map area 84B (line features). The 1:250 000 scale dataset was compiled from four published 1:100 000 scale maps (AGS maps 265, 266, 267 and 267). The aggregated data was generalized by thinning out features where too dense to be represented clearly. The process was overseen by the mapping geologist.The data are created in ArcInfo format and output for public distribution in Arc export (E00) and shapefile formats.

Drift Thickness of Peerless Lake Area, Alberta (NTS 84B) (GIS data, line features)

Description

The drift thickness map of the Peerless Lake area (NTS 84B) shows the variation in thickness of unconsolidated sediment lying between the bedrock surface and the present-day land surface, and complements the Drift Thickness of Alberta map (Pawlowicz and Fenton, 1995). The thickness of the drift varies from locally less than 2 metres in Buffalo Head Hills to over 200 metres in the Loon River Lowland in the central part of the map area. Thick drift fills the major paleovalleys, which are the Muskwa Valley, the Red Earth Valley and Gods Valley. The drift is thinnest on the Peerless Lake Upland, the Utikuma Uplands and the Buffalo Head Hills Upland. In general the areas of thin drift correspond to areas where the bedrock topography is high. Exceptions are the hills composed of thick drift, such as the ones located south of Muskwa Lake and southwest of Peerless Lake. These features are likely hill-hole pairs produced by glaciotectonism with lakes occupying the source depressions (holes)....
