Surficial geology, Maxhamish Lake, British Columbia / [by] D.H. Huntley ... [et al.]. : M183-1/120-2013E-PDF
"Canadian Geoscience Map 120 depicts the surficial geology and landforms over some 790 km2 covered by the Maxhamish Lake map sheet (NTS 94-O/14) in northeastern British Columbia. In the map area, the western limit of the Liard Plateau terminates along the north-trending Maxhamish Escarpment. West of Maxhamish Lake, Itssi Creek and tributaries to Sandy Creek drain west into the Liard River, d'Easum Creek flows northeast into the Petitot River. Maxhamish Lake occupies a centrally located basin with a small catchment area and an outlet draining into d'Easum Creek. Bedrock is mantled by unconsolidated earth materials dating to the Late Pleistocene (Late Wisconsinan Glaciation, > 25 ka to ca. 10 ka) and non-glacial Holocene (ca. 10 ka to present). Deposits of till, green on the map, are generally suitable for placement of infrastructure. Glaciofluvial deposits with mineral, aggregate, and groundwater potential are coloured orange. Slopes disturbed by landslides, debris flows, and rock falls appear brown and pink. 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.
