Description:
Abstract:
This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the NTS map area 83O Northwest ( line features). 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 NTS83O/NW in GIS format.
Supplemental Information:
This data comprises the line features of Map 312, The Surficial Geology of the Utikuma Area, Alberta, (NTS 83O/NW). This metadata record was generated based on the ArcInfo coverage version of the data. In English.

Data Quality Information:
Logical Consistency Report:
Visual checks have been made of the attributes by the authoring geologist, and plotted versions of the data have been checked by a third party.
Completeness Report:
Data were compiled intially through air photo interpretation, and were verified in selected locations during field mapping. No fewer than 100 field sites were visited during the course of mapping.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
Accuracy of the surface feature interpretations is estimated to be better than +/- 100m 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 +/- 10m on the ground. RMS error during georeferencing of the scanned image is less than +/- 10m.

Process Step:
Process Description:
Process includes
  1. air photo interpretation and transfer to mylar
  2. scan mylar
  3. georeference scanned image (6 to 8 control points)
  4. digitize line features from image
  5. where feature forms polygon boundary, select line from polygon coverage and add to line coverage
  6. label spatial features
  7. quality check, proof-reading
