2005-3 is a digital, cartographic version of British Columbia geology in
Adobe Acrobat PDF format. It can be used and distributed as a digital
product and/or printed as a cartographically correct rendition of the
geology of British Columbia:
This compilation map is a digital release
from which a “hardcopy” printed version can be produced. It is a companion
to Open File 2005-2 “The 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:
