Description:
Abstract:
This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the NTS map area 83N Northeast (polygon features). The data are created in ArcInfo format and output for public distribution in Arc export (.e00) and ESRI shapefile format.
Purpose: For query and analysis of the surficial geology of NTS 83N/NE in GIS format.
Supplemental Information:
These data comprise the polygon features of AGS Map 418, Surficial Geology of the McLennan Area (NTS 83N/NE). This metadata record was generated based on the ArcInfo coverage version of the data. In English.

Data Quality Information:
Logical Consistency Report:
Data are topologically clean, as checked in ArcInfo (workstation v. 9.0). 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 and IRS interpretation and were verified in selected locations during field mapping. 147 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 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 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.
