Surficial geology, Emile Creek, British Columbia / [by] D.H. Huntley ... [et al.].: M183-1/119-2013E-PDF

"Canadian Geoscience Map 119 depicts the surficial geology over some 790 km2 covered by the Emile Creek map sheet (NTS 94-O/15) in northeastern British Columbia. The Maxhamish Escarpment lies along the west margin of the map sheet. Much of the map area encompasses the northwest limit of the Etsho Plateau and a portion of the Petitot River watershed. Much of the map area is drained by Emile Creek and its tributaries which flow north into the 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"--Abstract.
