Open File 1748.
Abstract: The geological map and database are derived from regional
mapping in the
Mount McCusker (NTS 94G/4) 1:50 000 scale map area, as part of the
Geological Survey of Canada’s Central Foreland NATMAP
project.
Geological features represented by attributed points, lines, and
polygons have
been compiled into a GIS dataset suitable for stand-alone
use, or
integration with other data sets. User-defined attributes provide
traditional geological map information with greater detail and
enhancements.
The Mount McCusker map area encompasses the
transition from the Foothills to the Main Ranges of the northern Rocky
Mountains of
northeastern
British Columbia. The Foothills are underlain by late Paleozoic and
Mesozoic rocks that are deformed into long linear folds with minor
thrust faults, all detached on a basal decollement in the underlying
Besa
River Formation.
The Main Ranges in the western part of the map area are underlain by
early Paleozoic limestones, dolostones and quartzites
emplaced by
large, shallow-dipping thrust faults onto the Besa River Formation. The
dolostones are internally deformed by smaller thrust faults.
The limestones
contain tight overturned folds with penetrative cleavage.
Whereas the early
Paleozoic rocks are dominated by thick panels of carbonate rocks, the
late Paleozoic and younger units are dominated by clastic rocks with
subsidiary but economically significant carbonates in
the Carboniferous
Prophet (Debolt) Formation and the Triassic Charlie Lake,
Baldonnel and
Pardonet formations. Broad glacially scoured river valleys cut through
the ranges.
Purpose: Provided as part of a National Mapping (NATMAP)
commitment to compile Geographic Information System products.
Supplemental_Information: Points, lines, polygons, and attribute
data representing the geology of the area covered by NTS map 94G/4 (1:50
000 scale) in British Columbia, Canada.
