Northern Territory Geology (detailed)
Northern Territory rock units in detail, in the survey's own colours.
What it shows
Detailed 1:250,000 surface geology for the Northern Territory, from the Northern Territory Geological Survey's combined compilation, painted in the survey's own per-unit colours. The coloured areas are rock units (lithology). The lines are the mapped structures that matter for gold: faults, fold axes and dykes. There are no separate contact lines, so a unit's boundary is simply the edge of its coloured area. This is the detailed Territory mapping, far finer than the national 1:1,000,000 layer. Read geology first, as it shows why gold sits where it does: faults are where fluids moved and gold dropped. Tap a unit for its name, lithology and age, or a line for the structure type. Use it to follow a favourable rock or a fault in the direction it runs, into new ground.
Putting this on your map
Taking a layer from the Library onto a stack, and tuning how it draws, is a short guided tour on your own map.
