Abstract

The dataset presents the surficial geology of the Okanagan Valley. The study area includes the Kelowna area and Mission Creek Watershed. Unconsolidated deposits were simplified categories: sand and gravel deposits, alluvial sediments and valley fill material along the Mission Creek valley, and remaining unconsolidated deposits in the vicinity of the city of Kelowna. The unconsolidated deposits of the Okanagan Valley, in the vicinity of the City of Kelowna, extend to depths of 200 m, and are assumed to consist of silt, clay and fine sand.
