Composite Quartairprofieltypekaart Vlaanderen (1/50.000)

This map gives a picture of the common Quartaire profile types for the whole of Flanders. This map is compiled on the basis of the individual Quartairgeological profile type maps per map sheet on a scale of 1/50,000. Each individual map per map sheet displays the sequence of most recent deposits. These deposits are aeolian, fluviatile, tidal or slope deposits. The planes of the quaternary map represent the zones where similar successions of specific quaternary layers (profile types) occur. The thickness of the various constituent layers of a profile type must be indicated, in particular, by the additional isohypse and isopache maps and the additional texts for each map sheet. Quaternary deposits in Flanders are laterally and vertically heterogeneous and vary greatly in thickness.
