A 1:50,000-scale interpretive geological map overlays geophysical data for the Jakes Corner survey area in southern Yukon. The map integrates published geology, geophysical constraints, and field checks, with structural relations being interpretive. It was produced by the Government of Yukon and includes a report describing rock units and potential mineral deposit types.
Use Cases
- Interpret geological boundaries based on geophysical expression blocks defined on the map.
- Identify potential faults based on sharp magnetic gradients between units.
- Assess mineral deposit types based on the rock unit descriptions in the accompanying report.
- Integrate geological interpretations with geophysical maps from Open File 1994-10(G).
Strengths
- Includes a 1:50,000-scale map designed for overlay with specific geophysical data.
- Integrates multiple data sources: published geology, geophysical data, assessment reports, and field checks.
- Eastern portions of the map incorporate detailed mapping by Gordey and Stevens (1994b).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Structural relations between units are described as interpretive and may not be consistent.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
