Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: Open file surficial geology maps of southwestern Victoria Island at 1:50 000 scale were prepared by airphoto interpretation by A.S. Dyke following field work in the region by Dyke and J.M. Savelle (McGill University) during summers of 1998 to 2001. The maps span much of a regionally extensive end moraine system that formed as a result of cooling during the Younger Dryas interval. During field work, emphasis was placed on refining the deglacial and relative sea-level chronology and exploring the utility of the archaeological record as a paleoclimate archive. Numerous radiocarbon dates, both geological and archaeological, are plotted on the maps. Purpose: Supplemental_Information: Data set is in English. Magnetic declination stated in degrees and minutes. Annual change stated in minutes. Magnetic declination at NW corner of map: 32°24'E, changing 48.5'W annually. Magnetic declination at SW corner of map: 30°41'E, changing 46.1'W annually. Magnetic declination at NE corner of map: 30°37'E, changing 49.2'W annually. Magnetic declination at SE corner of map: 29°54'E, changing 46.6'W annually. Magnetic declination at center of map: 30°40'E, changing 47.6'W annually. Proximity of the North Magnetic Pole causes the compass to be erratic in this area.
