These structure, isopach and zero edge files are part of a series of stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems (SPFPS) project. The series of stratigraphic framework maps for the Saskatchewan Phanerozoic Fluids and Petroleum Systems (SPFPS) project have been produced using 2 km equi-spaced modified grids generated from Golden Software’s Surfer 9 kriging algorithm. The dataset used to produce each of the maps in this series was created using data from several projects completed by the Ministry (Christopher, 2003; Saskatchewan Industry and Resources et al., 2004; Kreis et al., 2004; Marsh and Heinemann, 2006; Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources et al., 2007; Heinemann and Marsh, 2009); these data were validated and edited as required to facilitate correlations between the various regional projects. In addition, to minimize edge effects during contouring, the senior author also generated stratigraphic data from wells in adjacent jurisdictions.

This map service provides access to most of the Resource Map datasets shown on the GeoAtlas application. **Please Note – All published Saskatchewan Geological Survey datasets, including those available through the Saskatchewan Mining and Petroleum GeoAtlas, are sourced from the Enterprise GIS Data Warehouse. They are therefore identical and share the same refresh schedule. This map service is used by the GeoATLAS web application, sub-section Resource Map in the Mineral Exploration theme. It includes Base Metals Potential, Coal Potential, Gold Potential, Helium Potential, Bitumen (Oil Sands) Potential, Lithium Potential, Potash and Salt Resource Potential, Rare Earth Elements Potential and Uranium Potential schema in Production Data Warehouse. Note: Oil and Gas pools are found in the /Petroleum service.

This line and polygon dataset was created to provide a record of the designated Provincial Waterways in Manitoba. This database contains lines and polygons showing the locations of provincial waterways, such as drains, dikes, diversions, detention basins, floodways, dams and reservoirs. This dataset was created by digitizing high-resolution imagery of the water features and by digitizing the titled Water Control Work plans associated with the features for drains which have been designated as provincial waterways by Order-in-Council. This dataset was created to provide a record of the designated Provincial Waterways in Manitoba and was intended for use in administering Provincial Waterways Authorizations. Provincial Waterways are designated by Order-in-Council and are under the administration and control of Manitoba Infrastructure (MI) through the Water Resource Administration Act.

The Granite Creek map area includes the southwestern section of the Gustavus Range. This area hosts summits approximately 2000 m in elevation. Granite and Albert creeks drain into Roop Lakes, through the wide, u-shaped lower Granite Creek valley. Keystone Creek flows in a narrow, bedrock-controlled valley. Lower Granite creek flows through the middle of the valley, depositing modern fluvial gravel and a blanket of organic material on the floodplain. Till from four alpine sources, as well as from the Cordilleran Ice Sheet (CIS), blanket the lower valley and intermix with glaciolacustrine sand and silt. Glaciolacustrine sediment can also be found capping moraines, and on valley walls above lateral moraines deposited when the CIS advanced up lower Granite Creek valley. Glaciofluvial gravel forms a proglacial fan where the former Granite Creek alpine glacier terminated and meltwater channels mark most former ice margins of the CIS. Till from the most recent glaciation is found in alpine glacier and Cordilleran Ice Sheet moraines, as well as in cirque valleys as blankets and veneers where preserved. Loess forms blankets on most gentle slopes, which allows for its preservation. Colluvium veneers, blankets, and fans form below steep slopes with active rockfall. Bedrock outcrops along steep cirque headwalls and in cirque valleys, as well as in Keystone Creek where fluvial downcutting processes are active. Stone stripes formed by frost heaving are found on gentle slopes. Flat upland surfaces host weathered bedrock and mud boils.

The aeromagnetic survey was carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys and data were acquired from March 10 to July 6, 2017. Spacing for the nominal traverse and control lines were 400 m and 2400 m, respectively. Nominal terrain clearance was 150 m.

Reprocessing of magnetic data for Yukon was performed between November 2016 and March 2017. Aeromagnetic data were compiled, data of different resolutions were merged, and a series of images individually levelled for each map sheet were produced. For each 250k-scale map, the following magnetic derivative maps were produced: 1. Residual Total Magnetic Field; 2. Reduced-to-Pole Magnetic Field (RTP); 3. First Vertical Derivative of the Reduced-to-Pole Magnetic Field (RTP_VD); and 4. Tilt Derivative of the Reduced-to-Pole Magnetic Field (RTP_TDR). These maps are provided as pdfs, geotiffs and Geosoft grid files. Colour ramps/legends are provided for each map.

This aeromagnetic survey was carried out by Geo Data Solutions GDS Inc. from January 12, 2018 to March 16, 2018. The data were recorded using split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers mounted in the tail booms of a Beechcraft King Air and a Piper Navajo. The nominal traverse and control line spacings were 400 m and 2400 m, and the aircraft flew at a nominal terrain clearance of 150 m. Travers lines were oriented N45°E with orthogonal control lines.
