Surficial Geology of Watson Lake (NTS 105A/2), Yukon (1:50 000 scale)

Surficial Geology of Watson Lake (NTS 105A/2), Yukon (1:50 000 scale) This map was produced as part of a biophysical mapping pilot project study carried out in the Watson Lake (NTS 105A/2) area in 2004. Biophysical mapping (also known as ecological land classification) is an integral system of mapping describing terrain conditions (surficial geology, slope, landscape position, drainage and permafrost conditions) as well as ecological values (vegetation community and structure, and soil moisture and nutrient regimes). At a local (1:50 000) scale, biophysical maps are an essential tool for facilitating stewardship and sustainable development of energy, mineral and land resources. 2024-07-30 Government of Yukon geology@gov.yk.ca Science and TechnologyYukon Geological SurveyYukon Data MapHTML https://data.geology.gov.yk.ca/reference/42802 Original metadata (https://open.yukon.ca)HTML https://open.yukon.ca/data/datasets/surficial-geology-watson-lake-nts-105a2-yukon-150-000-scale
