Description:
Abstract:
This GIS dataset is a GIS version of AGS Map 178, polygon features, as mapped at 1:250,000-scale by Fenton and Andriashek. Digitizing was originally done by Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration (PFRA). The data were supplied to AGS by PFRA in Arc/Info coverage format (map polygon features only). Data were subsequently checked and edited by AGS.
Purpose:
To make the surficial geology of the Sand River area available for use in a geographic information system.

Data Quality Information:
Logical Consistency Report:
Data are contiguous, topologically correct polygons as built and enforced using ArcInfo software. No effort was made to ensure continuity of features with existing data in adjacent study areas (i.e. edgematching).
Completeness Report: The data have been thoroughly checked against the original map for fidelity and completeness.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
Map was scanned as 24-bits, 500 resolution jpeg and converted to 8-bitt tiff file for performing registration procedure in ArcINFO. 10 to 30 control points were used for registration to achieve an average RMS error of 15 m. Visual examination of the registered digital data against the provincial 1:250 000-scale digital base data indicates the positional accuracy is +/- 350 m.
Lineage:
Process Step:
Process Description: Polygons were digitized and attributed by PFRA based on a scanned image of Map 178.
Process Date: 2003
Process Step:
Process Description:
Polygons were compared to 1:250,000-scale original map and, where necessary, edited to match the source map. Polygons were coded with a map label using a lookup table join on the unit symbol field.
