This compilation map is a digital release from which a “hardcopy” printed version can be produced.  It is a companion to Open File 2005-2The Digital Geology of British Columbia” which was released on DVD in January 2005.  This is the first compilation of the province’s geology produced by the BC Geological Survey since 1977 and incorporates much of the new geoscience mapping and research by Ministry geoscientists and others, which has been completed during the past 25 years.

This geology map has been prepared at 1:1,000,000-scale and is comprised of three sheets (2 geology maps - North and South, plus a legend).  It is available for free, in PDF format only, and can be downloaded from the Ministry website at:
