Surficial geology, Kiwigana River, British Columbia / [by] D.H. Huntley ... [et al.].: M183-1/127-2013E-PDF
"Canadian Geoscience Map 127 depicts the surficial geology over some 790 km2 covered by the Kiwigana River map sheet (NTS 94-O/07), in northeastern British Columbia. The map area lies in the Fort Nelson Lowland, and is drained by the west-flowing Kiwigana River. 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, rock slides, and debris flows appear brown. Glaciolacustrine and organic deposits with sporadically discontinuous permafrost are coloured purple and grey, respectively. Alluvial deposits prone to flooding, erosion, and sedimentation appear yellow on the map"--Abstract.
