Figure 26.2

Bedrock structure map (bedrock topography map) of Western Canada.

Figure 26.3

Isopach map of the interval from the present-day land surface to the top of bedrock (drift thickness).

Figure 26.4

Location of Sand River map area 73L.

Figure 26.5

Bedrock topography of the Sand River map area (from Andriashek and Fenton, 1983). Contours are in metres above sea-level.

Figure 26.6

Isopach map of the interval from the present-day land surface to the top of bedrock, Sand River area (modified from Gold et al., 1983).

Figure 26.7

Geological cross section showing the distribution of Quaternary and late Tertiary sediment, Sand River area. Sediments consist of a series of interbedded stratified and till (diamicton) layers (from Andriashek and Fenton, 1989).
