Abstract: This dataset is a GIS version of Map 226, which is a regional synthesis of published and unpublished maps. The data represent 100 m elevation contours of the bedrock subcrop for Alberta. The southern part of Alberta, from 49 to 56 degrees north, was primarily compiled from existing 1:250,000 bedrock topography maps. The interpretation of the remaining northern portion of Alberta was based mostly on limited borehole data and information from existing 1:250,000 hydrogeological maps.

Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, Alberta Geological Survey, Map 226, scale 1:2 000 000.
Abstract:
This dataset is a GIS version of Map 226, which is a regional synthesis of published and unpublished maps. The
data represent 100 m elevation contours of the bedrock subcrop for Alberta. The southern part of Alberta,
from 49 to 56 degrees north, was primarily compiled from existing 1:250,000 bedrock topography maps. The
interpretation of the remaining northern portion of Alberta was based mostly on limited borehole data and
information from existing 1:250,000 hydrogeological maps.
Purpose:
For depicting the topography of the bedrock surface and thalwegs of paleo-drainage systems at a 1:2 000 000
scale.

Description:
Digital MCAD files of elevation contours were exported to DXF format using Canvas 7.0.2 and CorelDraw
8.0, imported into ArcInfo 7.2, then georeferenced using the Arc TRANSFORM command. Line features
were tagged with elevation values using ArcInfo 7.2 and/or ArcView 3.2a.
