Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: The Open File maps at 1:50 000 scale of the northern part of the Koch Island NTS map sheet (37C), like those for the Steensby Inlet NTS map sheet (37F), Baffin Island, Nunavut, are the first complete surficial geology maps of the region. The region was entirely glaciated by the Baffin Sector of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. The surficial geology thus reflects the effects of glaciation, ice recession, and associated relative sea level adjustments. The open file maps share a common legend, which has been adapted from the legend of previously published adjoining maps of northwestern Baffin Island. The Open File maps were prepared from airphoto interpretation by the author in 2002-2003 and subsequently field checked in part by the author during two field seasons. Field observations from a dense network of glacial drift sampling stations were provided by De Beers Canada Exploration and incorporated in the maps during final editing. These maps are the second set to be released from a new project, which also involved mapping of areas to the west (47E, already released) and south (37C, in preparation). Purpose: Supplemental_Information: Data set is in English. Magnetic declination stated in degrees and minutes. Annual change stated in minutes. Magnetic declination at center of map: 41°1'W, changing 39.7'E annually. Proximity of the North Magnetic Pole causes the compass to be erratic in this area.
