Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: The Criss Creek map area (92P/02) lies within the southern sector of the Fraser Plateau of central British Columbia. It is a region of rolling topography with an average elevation of approximately 1400 m above sea level. Most of the region drains to the west and south via Criss Creek and Deadman River which are tributaries of Thompson River to the south. The region is predominantly underlain by till which consists of a poorly sorted diamicton with clasts of all size. Bedrock outcrops are rare and limited in extent. Till is overlain in places by glaciofluvial sediments which were deposited in meltwater streams at the end of the last glaciation. Glaciolacustrine sediments, deposited in glacial lakes which formed at the end of the last glaciation, are limited in extent and were observed in the field west of Deadman River valley. Lacustrine sediments are present at the periphery of modern lakes throughout the map area. These were deposited at a time when the lakes occupied a higher level. Modern streams sediments (alluvium) are present in extent large enough to be mapped in some of the valleys. Colluvial deposits are mapped on steep slopes and are predominantly present in the Deadman River valley. During the last glaciation, probably at glacial maximum, ice was dominantly moving to the south southeast as recorded by flutings, crag-and-tails and drumlins. However, an earlier phase of ice flow to the southwest is recorded from the glacial striations. The Deadman River and Criss Creek valleys were in large part eroded by glacial meltwater during the last glaciation. The resulting meltwater channel of the Deadman River valley was greatly enlarged in places by postglacial landslide. Purpose: Supplemental_Information: Data set is in English.
