| Description : | This dataset is the digital version of map 1880A showing the distribution of surficial materials in Canada, on land and in extensive offshore areas. It portrays broad genetic categories of surface materials (alluvial, lacustrine, marine, glacial) and bedrock. The map was compiled using information from the Geological Survey of Canada, provincial geological surveys, and other sources. It provides a generalized picture of surface materials for the entire country which serves as base information for a variety of applications. The digital map data consist of geology, landforms and hydrography as separate layers |
