View southerly over Hoodoo Mountain and across Iskut River Valley........ .. 90 v PREFACE The late Forrest A. K·err examined the Stikine River area in the years 1926 to 1929 inclusive. His explorations covered altogether some 2,500 square miles of extremely mountainous and difficult country, for much of which he found it necessary to map the topography as well as the geology. The three geological maps covering this area were published in 1935, but the voluminous account prepared by Mr. Kerr to accompany the maps was never put into shape for publication, and after his death, in 1938, war conditions compelled further postponement of the project. Immediately after the war, however, the manu­ script material was turned over to H. C. Cooke of the Geological Survey, and the present report has been prepared by him. Although Dr. Cooke believes that he has correctly stated Dr. Kerr's facts and conclusions, it is of course impo.:;sible now to verify this, and the report is, therefore, issued, frankly, as a posthumous compilation from Dr. Kerr's manuscript. At all points in the report where statements occur such as "the writer believes," "it is the writer's view,'' etc., the "writer" is Dr. Kerr. The report itself deals with a large, potentially metalliferous region rubout which little factual geological information has yet been published. It contributes substantially to the age, character, and relationships of the various sedimentary and volcanic formations; deals at some length with the composite structure of the Coast Range batholithic complex and the individual characteristics of its several components; and includes some particularly instructive data on the physiographic history and glaciation of the region, and on the products of late Tertiary and Recent vulcanism. The report is also a valuable guide to condi­ tions and means of travel within the area mapped, and contains pertinent information on the known mineral occurrences and on areas favourable for prospecting. GEORGE HANSON, Chief Geolog1'st, Geological Survey OTTAWA, April 15, 1947 Lower Stikine and Western Iskut River Areas, British Columbia CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION GENERAL STATEMENT Stikine River has been a highway of travel to the placer gold' fields of Cassiar district for more than 70 years. During the boom days there were probably few bars along the main river or its tributaries that were not carefully prospected for placer deposits, but the yield was relatively small. In the late sixties and early seventies, before the main Cassiar rush, some 'bars south of Telegraph Creek yielded good returns for short periods; and in recent years limited amounts have •been revealed by drilling. Until recently, lode mining attracted little attention in Stikine River district. After the slight success of early.

MULCAHY, Deputy Minister NOTES ON PHYSIOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY OF (Bli BRITISH COLUMBIA b OFFICERS OF THE DEPARTMENT VICTCRIA, B.C. 1961 PHYSIOGRAPHY Physiographic divisions and names are established by the Geographic Board of Canada. Recently H. S. Bostock, of the Geological Survey of Canada, studied the physiography of the northern Cordilleran region; his report and maps are published CI I c Fig. 1. Rglief map of British Columbia. in Memoir 247 of the Geological Survey, Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa. The divisions shown on the accompanying sketch, Figure 2, and the nomenclature used in the text are those proposed by Bostock. Most of the Province of British Columbia lies within the region of mountains and plateaus, the Cordillera of Western Canada, that forms the western border of the North American Continent. The extreme northeastern comer of the Province, lying east of the Cordillera, is part of the Great Plains region. The Rocky Mountain Area extends along the eastern boundary of the Province for a distance of 400 miles, and continues northwestward for an additional 500 miles entirely within the Province. The high, rugged Rocky Mountains, averaging about 50 miles in width, are flanked on the west by a remarkably long and straight valley, known as the Rocky Mountain Trench, and occupied from south to north by the Kootenay, Columbia, Canoe, Fraser, Parsnip, Finlay, Fox, and Kechika Rivers. Of these, the first four flow into the Pacific Ocean and the second four join the Mackenzie River to flow ultimately into the Arctic Ocean.

  • Holocene Tephras in Lake Cores from Northern British Columbia, Canada
    935 Holocene tephras in lake cores from northern British Columbia, Canada Thomas R. Lakeman, John J. Clague, Brian Menounos, Gerald D. Osborn, Britta J.L. Jensen, and Duane G. Froese Abstract: Sediment cores recovered from alpine and subalpine lakes up to 250 km apart in northern British Columbia con- tain five previously unrecognized tephras. Two black phonolitic tephras, each 5–10 mm thick, occur within 2–4 cm of each other in basal sediments from seven lakes in the Finlay River – Dease Lake area. The upper and lower Finlay tephras are slightly older than 10 220 – 10 560 cal year B.P. and likely originate from two closely spaced eruptions of one or two large volcanoes in the northern Cordilleran volcanic province. The Finlay tephras occur at the transition between deglacial sediments and organic-rich postglacial mud in the lake cores and, therefore, closely delimit the termination of the Fraser Glaciation in northern British Columbia. Sediments in Bob Quinn Lake, which lies on the east edge of the northern Coast Mountains, contain two black tephras that differ in age and composition from the Finlay tephras. The lower Bob Quinn tephra is 3–4 mm thick, basaltic in composition, and is derived from an eruption in the Iskut River volcanic field about 9400 cal years ago. The upper Bob Quinn tephra is 12 mm thick, trachytic in composition, and probably 7000–8000 cal years old. A fifth tephra occurs as a cryptotephra near the top of two cores from the Finlay River area and is correlated to the east lobe of the White River tephra (ca.

As agreed with your office, we gathered information on areas managed by two agencies: the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLN) and the Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. Specifically, this report provides information on (1) legislative guidance and the agency policies governing wilderness study area management, (2) the various activities and uses occurring in the agencies’ study areas, (3) the ways these activities and uses affect the areas, and (4) agency actions to monitor and restrict these uses and to repair damage resulting from them. Appendixes I and II provide data on the number, acreage, and locations of wilderness study areas managed by BLM and the Forest Service, as well as data on the types of uses occurring in the areas.
