Abstract: This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of NTS map area 84O (point features). The data were created in geodatabase format and output for public distribution in shapefile format. The map was prepared by airphoto interpretation together with limited ground-truthing. The airphotos within Wood Buffalo National Park were flown in 1975 (scale 1:54,000). The airphotos from outside the park were flown in 1994 (scale 1:60,000).

Horizontal Positional Accuracy
Measure description:
Evaluation method description:
Accuracy of the surface feature interpretations was estimated to be better than +/- 150 m on the ground,
based on informed judgement of the effects of all combined map production errors. No formal accuracy
check was conducted to verify the interpretation was correct. The RMS error during georeferencing of the
Mylar was less than +/- 50 m.

Measure description:
Data comprise the surficial features derived from 1:60 000 or 1:54 000-scale airphoto interpretation. The
authoring geologist made visual checks of the attributes, and a third party checked plotted versions of

Process step:
Description:
Process includes
1. airphoto interpretation (1:60 000 or 1:54 000 scale)
2. transferred interpreted geology onto Mylar
3. scanned Mylar at full color 150 dpi
4. georeferenced scanned Mylar
5. digitized features
6. attributed features
7. quality check, proofreading
