Description
This paper presents results of geological mapping conducted in 2003 as part of a project addressing the stratigraphic, structural, and metamorphic relationships along the Columbia River valley in British Columbia. The results relate to the stratigraphy of the Upper Arrow Lake & Trout Lake areas and the structural geology of the Columbia River fault zone. The significance of the stratigraphic succession found along Upper Arrow Lake is discussed in regard to previous theories concerning a crustal-scale displacement along the fault zone.
