This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the NTS map area 84B (point features). The 1:250 000 scale dataset was compiled from four published 1:100 000 scale maps (AGS maps 265, 266, 267 and 267). The aggregated data was generalized by thinning out features where too dense to be represented clearly. The process was overseen by the mapping geologist.The data are created in ArcInfo format and output for public distribution in Arc export (E00) and shapefile formats.
Purpose: For query and analyses of the surficial geology of NTS 84B in GIS format.
Supplemental Information:
These data comprise the point features of Map 269, Surficial Geology of the Peerless Lake Area, Alberta (NTS84B), published by the Alberta Geological Survey. This metadata record was generated based on the ArcInfo coverage version of the data. In English.

Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
Accuracy of the surface feature interpretations is estimated to be better than +/- 100 m on the ground, based on informed judgement of the effects of all combined map production errors. No formal accuracy check has been conducted to verify the interpretation is correct; however, field site data serve to provide control on interpretation. Site locations are measured with handheld GPS units, whose error is estimated at better than +/- 10 m on the ground. RMS error during georeferencing of the scanned image is less than +/- 10 m.
