The Stevenson Ridge map area in Yukon, Canada is generally poorly exposed due to heavy vegetative cover and Quaternary sediment. The bedrock geology interpretation presented in this map is based on sparse field observations extrapolated with regional aeromagnetic data from the Geological Survey of Canada. The map was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated on 2026-04-17.
Use Cases
- Interpret bedrock geology based on sparse field observations mentioned in the description.
- Extrapolate geological contact relationships using aeromagnetic data referenced in the description.
- Study geological formations in poorly exposed areas with heavy vegetative cover as described.
- Map bedrock types in regions covered by extensive Quaternary sediment veneer as noted.
Strengths
- The map interpretation incorporates regional aeromagnetic data from the Geological Survey of Canada.
- The dataset is provided by the Government of Yukon, an authoritative source.
- The map covers a specific area defined by NTS map sheets 115J/3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, parts of 11 and 12; 115K/1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, parts of 15 and 16.
Limitations
- The description states bedrock and contact relationships are highly speculative throughout large parts of the map area.
- Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The interpretation is based on sparse and widely separated field observations, as noted in the description.
