The drift thickness map of the Pelican River area (NTS 83P) shows the variation in thickness of unconsolidated sediment lying between the bedrock surface and the present-day land surface, and complements the regional drift thickness map of Alberta (Pawlowicz and Fenton, 1995). The thickness of...

A digital grid of the subcrop edge of the Viking Formation, originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to present-day and paleo river erosion. Values in the grid correspond to areas where the unit is present (denoted by the number '25'), or where it is absent (denoted by the null value...

A digital grid of the subcrop edge of the Second White Specks Formation and bedrock units above, such as the Wapiti Formatioin, originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to present-day and paleo river erosion. Values in the grid correspond to areas where the unit is present, or where it...

A digital grid of the subcrop edge of the Joli Fou Formation, originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to present-day and paleo river erosion. Values in the grid correspond to areas where the unit is present (denoted by the number '50'), or where it is absent (denoted by the null value...

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...

This dataset has stratigraphic and lithological picks of the upper bedrock and Quaternary geological units in the Athabasca Oil Sands Area extending north from Cold Lake to the Fort McMurray region. The picks were compiled from the mid-1970s to 2006 to construct maps of the subsurface...

A digital grid of the top of the Empress Fm. Unit 1 sand and gravel, (the lowermost unit in the Empress Formation), where present, or the topography of the surrounding landscape, where Unit 1 is absent. The unit is originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to the bedrock surface and...

The data represent the locations of thalwegs (paleo-channels) incised in the bedrock surface. Segments of three major buried valleys are present: the Wiau Valley and the Leismer Valley in the northeast, and the south to northwest-trending Amesbury Valley in the central portion of the area.

A digital grid of the top of the bedrock surface, originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to present-day river erosion. The grid is generated at a 250 m cell-size resolution, based on information as recent as 2003.

This GIS dataset depicts the drift thickness of NTS map area 84L ( line features). The data are created in ArcInfo format and output for public distribution in Arc export (E00) and shapefile formats.

A digital grid of the top of the Clearwater Formation, originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to present-day and paleo river erosion. The grid is generated at a 250 m cell-size resolution, based on information as recent as 2003.

A digital grid of the top of the Empress Formation where present, or the topography of the surrounding landscape, where the formation is absent. This includes the units 1 to 3 of the Empress Formation in buried valleys, as well as undifferentiated Empress interfluve sediments resting on the...

A digital grid of the top of the McMurray Formation, originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to present-day and paleo river erosion. The grid is generated at a 250 m cell-size resolution, based on information as recent as 2003.

A digital grid of the top of the Base of Fish Scales horizon, originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to present-day and paleo river erosion. The grid is generated at a 250 m cell-size resolution, based on information as recent as 2003.

This GIS dataset depicts the bedrock topography of NTS map area 84L ( line features). The data are created in ArcInfo format and output for public distribution in Arc export (E00) and shapefile formats.

This dataset represents the topography of the top of the Paskapoo Formation, which is also the bedrock topography in the western part of Alberta. We clipped the surface from Alberta Geological Survey's Bedrock Topography of Alberta grid using the areal extent of the Paskapoo Formation shown on...

This dataset is a GIS version of Map 226, which is a regional synthesis of published and unpublished maps. The data represent 100 m elevation contours of the bedrock subcrop for Alberta. The southern part of Alberta, from 49 to 56 degrees north, was primarily compiled from existing 1:250,000...

A digital grid of the subcrop edge of the Grand Rapids Formation, originally modeled from borehole data and adjusted to present-day and paleo river erosion. Values in the grid correspond to areas where the unit is present (denoted by the number '100'), or where it is absent (denoted by the null...
