Description:
Abstract:

This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the Meekwap Lake area (NTS 83K/NE) (GIS data, polygon features). The data were created in geodatabase format and output for public distribution in shapefile format.

These data comprise the polygon features of Alberta Geological Survey Map 559, Surficial Geology of the Meekwap Lake Area (NTS 83K/NE).

Purpose: For query and analysis of the surficial geology of the Meekwap Lake area (NTS 83K/NE) in GIS format.

Data Quality Information:
Logical Consistency Report:
The digital vector data are contiguous, topologically correct polygons as built and enforced using ArcGIS software. Due to the availability of high-quality, LiDAR bare-earth digital elevation model data (unpublished) for NTS 83K/NE, it was possible to delineate polygons and lines that would otherwise be unobservable.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 83K/NE that do not have a corresponding boundary in the adjacent study areas. Consequently, NTS 83K/NE is not fully edge-matched with adjacent areas.
Completeness Report:
The data represent surficial geology interpretations based on Light Detection and Ranging 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 mosaic and relief shading the LiDAR for complete coverage of NTS 83K/NE;

2. digitizing polygons and line features across the LiDAR image of NTS 83K/NE using ArcGIS;

3. labelling spatial features;

4. checking the quality of the digital file; and

5. proofreading the text.
