Description:
Abstract:
This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of NTS map area 84O south (polygon features). The data were created in geodatabase format and output for public distribution in shapefile format. The map was prepared by airphoto interpretation of 1:60 000-scale images flown in 1994. There was no ground-truthing.
Purpose: For query and analysis of the surficial geology of NTS 84O/S in GIS format.
Supplemental Information:
These data comprise the polygon features of Alberta Geological Survey Map 423, Surficial Geology of the South Whitesand River Area, Alberta (NTS 84O/S). In English.

Data Quality Information:
Logical Consistency Report:
Digital vector data are contiguous, topologically correct polygons as built and enforced using ArcGIS software. Feature boundaries have been adjusted so they align with like features in adjacent study areas (edgematched). Line features intersected only where intended. The authoring geologist made visual checks of the attributes and a third party checked plotted versions of the data.
Completeness Report: Data were compiled through 1:60 000-scale airphoto interpretation.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
Accuracy of the surface feature interpretations were estimated to be better than +/- 150 m on the ground, based on informed judgement of the effects of all combined map production errors. No formal accuracy check was conducted to verify the interpretation was correct. The RMS error during georeferencing of the Mylar was less than +/- 50 m.

Process Step:
Process Description:

Process includes

1. 1:60 000-scale air photo interpretation

2. transferred interpreted geology onto Mylar

3. scanned Mylar at full color 150 dpi

4. georeferenced scanned Mylar

5. created topologically correct polygons using ArcGIS software (autovectorization)

6. attributed features

7. quality check, proofreading
