Abstract: As part of Geomapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) activities for Canada’s north, participants in the Mackenzie Delta and Corridor project have co-operated to produce a new digital map illustrating areas of varying petroleum potential in Canada’s northern mainland, specifically in the region commonly known as the Mackenzie Corridor which encompasses areas of sedimentary rock along and proximal to the Mackenzie River and includes the proposed route of the Mackenzie Valley natural gas pipeline. The map, released in the GCS North American 1983 horizontal projection system using the GRS 80 ellipsoid and NAD 1983 horizontal datum, includes complete coverage of areas of petroleum potential in the Interior Platform and Northern Foreland Belt geological provinces between latitudes 60o and 70o north.
Supplemental_Information: Polygons and attributes representing the petroleum potential of the area covered by IMW maps NP-7 to NP-9, NP-9 & NP-10, NP-11 & NP-12, NQ-7 to NQ-9, NQ-9 to NQ-12, NR-7 to NR-9, and NR-9 to NR-12 in Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut, Canada.
