Geological mapping at 1:50,000 scale was conducted during the 1988 field season south of Whitehorse. Rocks from the Atlin Terrane, Whitehorse Trough, and Coast Plutonic Complex are represented, bounded by the Nahlin thrust fault. Mineral occurrences are spatially related to the Nahlin Fault and the Tally Ho Shear Zone.
Use Cases
- Map geological formations based on the described Atlin Terrane, Whitehorse Trough, and Coast Plutonic Complex
- Analyze structural features based on the Nahlin thrust fault and Crag Lake tear fault
- Study mineral occurrence patterns based on their relation to the Nahlin Fault and Tally Ho Shear Zone
- Investigate Cretaceous volcanic activity based on the Carmacks and Mount Nansen Groups
Strengths
- Mapping was conducted at a detailed 1:50,000 scale
- The description specifies geological structures like the Nahlin thrust fault and Tally Ho Shear Zone
- The dataset includes information on mineral occurrences and their geological context
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 the specific Yukon map areas
