Surficial geology, Tsimeh Creek, British Columbia / [by] D.H. Huntley ... [et al.]. : M183-1/106-2012E-PDF

"Canadian Geoscience Map 106 depicts the surficial geology over some 790 km2 covered by the Tsimeh Creek map sheet (NTS 94-O/02) in northeastern British Columbia. The map area lies within the Fort Nelson Lowland and is incised by west-flowing Fort Nelson River and north-draining Tsimeh Creek. Bedrock is mantled by unconsolidated earth materials dating to the Late Pleistocene (Late Wisconsinan Glaciation, >25 to 10 ka) and non-glacial Holocene (10 ka to present). Deposits of till, green on the map, are generally suitable for placement of infrastructure. Glaciofluvial and eolian deposits with mineral, aggregate and groundwater potential are coloured orange and buff. Slopes disturbed by landslides and debris flows appear brown. 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.
