Description:
Abstract:
This data set is a GIS version of the surficial geology point features for the Waterways area Alberta (NTS74D), as mapped at 1:250,000 scale by L.A.Bayrock.
Purpose:
For depicting and modeling surficial geology at a 1:250,000 scale, in a GIS or geospatial environment. The points mark the centroids of the drumlins and glacial flutings as they are symbolized on the original map. They are given for cartographic purposes only.
Supplemental Information: In English. This metadata record was generated based on the ArcInfo coverage version of the data.

Process Step:
Process Description:
A scanned image of the original map (TIF) was georeferenced against the 1:250 000 scale hydrography coverage data and rectified in ArcInfo. Twenty-six control points were used to register the image, with a resulting RMS error of 84 m (ground units). Polygon outlines were digitized in "heads-up" mode in ArcEdit from the registered image, and tagged with their descriptive attributes according to the map legend.
