Abstract: Alberta Geological Survey partnered with Alberta Environment (AENV) Northern Region to compile and analyze groundwater data in the Cold Lake-Beaver River Drainage Basin. The compilation and analysis assisted AENV and its stakeholders to update the Beaver River-Cold Lake Water Management Plan. The project completed a digital, three-dimensional geological model of the area. This digital release contains the outlines of formation boundaries used in that report, specifically the boundaries for preglacial and glacial formations.

Abstract:
Alberta Geological Survey partnered with Alberta Environment (AENV) Northern Region to compile and analyze
groundwater data in the Cold Lake-Beaver River Drainage Basin. The compilation and analysis assisted AENV
and its stakeholders to update the Beaver River-Cold Lake Water Management Plan. The project completed a
digital, three-dimensional geological model of the area. This digital release contains the outlines of
formation boundaries used in that report, specifically the boundaries for preglacial and glacial formations.
Purpose:
To delineate the extent of preglacial and glacial formations within the Cold Lake-Beaver River Basin to assist
in the development of a water-management plan created by Alberta Environment and its stakeholders.

Visual inspection confirms all polygon boundaries matched up correctly when overlaying the appended

For a description of how the formations were defined and mapped, refer to Section 3.3 of Alberta
Geological Survey Special Report 074.
Process step:
Process step:
Description:
Alberta Geological Survey (AGS) geologists L.D. Andriashek and M.M. Fenton mapped and named the
glacial and preglacial formations in the Sand River NTS 73L map area based on the dominant
lithological character of the sediments. The approach was lithostratigraphic. Alberta Geological
Survey Bulletin 57 contains this work.
Subsequent preglacial and glacial sediment mapping in the Cold Lake-Beaver River area mapped these
formations into areas beyond the extent of the Sand River NTS 73L maps area. Mapping completed for
AGS Special Report 074 provided confirmation and some modification of the original polygon extents
of these formation boundaries. The original mapping coupled with subsequent mapping formed the basis
for the polygon extents presented in this digital release.
We created the shapefile by combining 12 different polygon shapefiles - one for each formation
exported from the original software packages used to generate the polygons.
For each shapefile
1. all columns in the attribute table from the original shapefile were deleted except for COMP, which
describes the major type of materials for the formation; and
2. a new column called UNIT was created to store the formation name.
We used the Append tool to append all shapefiles into a final shapefile.
