Yukon Bedrock Geology Map with Faults and Geochronology

January 2022 bedrock geology data for Yukon, Canada, published by the Yukon Geological Survey. This dataset is an update to the Gordey and Makepeace (1999, 2001) compilation and includes bedrock geology, faults, contacts, geochronology, and a map index. New digital data are released incrementally and updated regularly.

Use Cases

• Map regional bedrock geology based on the compiled geological units.
• Analyze fault lines and geological contacts for tectonic studies.
• Study geological age relationships using the included geochronology data.
• Create thematic geological maps for resource exploration or land-use planning.

Strengths

• Published by the authoritative Yukon Geological Survey in January 2022.
• Builds upon the previous foundational compilation by Gordey and Makepeace (1999, 2001).
• Data is updated regularly as new parts of the compilation are ready.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to its focus on Yukon, Canada.
