Description:

Abstract:

Digital file containing fault lines for British Columbia. Faults are identified by a type attribute (fault, normal fault, thrust fault, extension fault). Note: Lines for faults follow a "right-hand rule" such that appropriate symbology (e.g. teeth on thrusts) should be placed on the right-hand side of the line.

Purpose: Overlay map to go with bedrock geology map.
