Description of Map Units

Qtt - Thin Glacial Till: Ice derived deposits (<3m thick) composed of oxidized, unsorted, poorly-stratified slightly sandy till, characterized by frequent surface boulders and bedrock exposures. Commonly mimics upland topography and lacks abundant rock walls and rock piles.

Qt - Glacial Till: Ice derived deposits (>3m thick) composed of grey, unsorted, poorly-stratified clay-rich till, characterized by frequent surface boulders of varying lithology and rare bedrock exposures. Predominantly found mantling gently sloping topography and streamlined hills with common rock walls and rock piles.

Qow - Outwash: Well-sorted, well-stratified coarse sand/gravel deposit containing clasts of varying size and lithology.

Hpm - Wetland/Peat: Well-sorted, well-stratified silt/clay deposits associated with concave topography with limited drainage. Predominantly occurs in low-lying valley settings, however some deposits occur in steep upland settings.

Hft - Fluvial Terraces:Well-sorted, well-stratified sand/silt/pebbles/cobbles on gently sloping topography that represent historical floodplain sediments, which are now dissected by modem streams.

Haf - Alluvium: Well-sorted, well-stratified, fluvial deposits adjacent to or in stream channels, sand/silt/pebbles/cobbles coarsening towards stream headwaters. Variable extent and thickness depending on location in field area; deposits are founding filling steep valley fluvial channels and covering broad floodplains in lowland settings.
