- Description:
- Abstract:
- This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the NTS map area 84B/13 (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 analyses of the surficial geology of NTS 84B/13 in GIS format.
- Supplemental Information:
- These data comprise the polygon features of Map 314, Surficial Geology of the Sawn Lake Area, (NTS84B/13), published by the Alberta Geological Survey. This metadata record was generated based on the ArcInfo coverage version of the data. In English.

- Data Quality Information:
- Logical Consistency Report:
- 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 intially through air photo interpretation and were verified in selected locations during field mapping. No fewer than 100 field sites were visited during the course of mapping.
- Lineage:
- Process Step:
- Process Description:
Process includes
- air photo interpretation and transfer to mylar
- scan mylar
- georeference scanned image (6 to 8 control points)
- digitize line features from image
- where feature forms polygon boundary, select line from polygon coverage and add to line coverage
- label spatial features
- quality check, proof-reading
- Process Date: 2003
- Positional Accuracy:
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
- Accuracy of the surface feature interpretations is estimated 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 has been conducted to verify the interpretation; 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.
