Description:
Abstract:
This GIS dataset depicts the permafrost areas of NTS map area 84N southwest (polygon features). The data are created in ArcInfo format and output for public distribution in Arc export (E00) and shapefile formats.
Purpose: For query and analysis of the surficial geology of NTS 84N/SW in GIS format.
Supplemental Information:
These data comprise the permafrost polygon features of AGS Map 419 (GSC Open File 5832)Surficial Geology of the Slavey Creek Area, Alberta (NTS 84N/SW). This metadata record was generated based on the ArcInfo coverage version of the data. In English.

Data Quality Information:
Logical Consistency Report:
Digital vector data which 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 intersect only where intended. 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 initially through air photo interpretation and were verified in selected locations during field mapping. No fewer than 300 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 that +/- 100 m on the ground, based on informed judgement of the effects of all combined map production errors. No formal accuracy check had 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 +/- 10 m on the ground. RMS error during georeferencing of the scanned image is less than +/- 10 m.
Lineage:
Process Step:
Process Description:

1. air photo interpretation

2. scanned each 60k air photo in full colour at 300 dpi JPEG

3. georeferenced and edgematched images using hydrography and roads for control

4. digitized line features from each image individually to reconcile edge discrepancies

5. labelled spatial features

6. quality check, proofreading
