- Data Quality Information:
- Logical Consistency Report:
The digital vector data are topologically correct lines as built and enforced using ArcGIS software. Due to the availability of high-quality, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) bare-earth digital elevation model data (unpublished) for NTS 84E/NW, it was possible to delineate polygons and lines that would otherwise be unobservable. Adjacent map areas have not been mapped using LiDAR; therefore, new feature boundaries have been identified in NTS 84E/NW that do not have a corresponding boundary in the adjacent study areas. Consequently, NTS 84E/NW is not fully edge-matched with adjacent areas. Line features intersect only where intended.
- Completeness Report:
The data represent surficial geology interpretations based on LiDAR bare-earth data, orthorectified aerial photographs, and previously published mapping in the area.
- Positional Accuracy:
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
We estimate the accuracy of the surface-feature interpretations 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 verified the interpretation.
- Lineage:
- Process Step:
- Process Description:
Our processes included
1. making a LiDAR imagery mosaic for complete coverage of NTS 84E/NW and relief shading the LiDAR bare-earth digital elevation model (DEM);
2. digitizing polygons and line features across the LiDAR image of NTS 84E/NW using ArcGIS;
3. labelling spatial features;
4. checking quality of digital file; and
5. proofreading text.
