Bedrock Topography of Alberta, Canada

Authors: Atkinson, N.; Lyster, S.

Executive Summary

This map represents a computer-generated geostatistical model of the bedrock topography of Alberta using previously published information from Alberta Geological Survey maps and reports, as well as new data and updates Alberta Geological Survey Map 226. The map focuses on those regions of the province that have sufficient data to warrant an interpretation of the bedrock surface. The incompleteness of this map reflects the absence of sufficient data to interpret part of northern Alberta.
