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...

This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the NTS map area 83P (point features). The data are created in ArcInfo format and output for public distribution in Arc export (E00) and shapefile formats.

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.

This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the NTS map area 83P (line features). The data are created in ArcInfo format and output for public distribution in Arc export (E00) and shapefile formats.

This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the NTS map area 83P (polygon features). The data are created in ArcInfo format and output for public distribution in Arc export (E00) and shapefile formats.

The bedrock topography map of the Pelican River area (NTS 83P) shows the elevation of the bedrock surface. In general, the surface topography reflects the bedrock topography: bedrock highs underlie the Pelican, Amadou and May Hills highlands, and the buried valleys lie within the Wabasca and...
