Horizontal Positional Accuracy
Measure description:
Evaluation method description:
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; however, field site data provided control on interpretation. Site
locations were measured with handheld GPS units, whose error is estimated at better than +/- 10 m on the
ground.

Evaluation method description:
We initially compiled the data for the entire study area through LiDAR interpretation and verified them by
direct field observations of about 400 field sites distributed across the map area.

Conceptual consistency:
Measure description:
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(unpublished) for NTS 84D/NW, it was possible to delineate polygons and lines that would otherwise be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 84D/NW that do not have a corresponding boundary in the adjacent study
areas. Consequently, NTS 84D/NW is not fully edge-matched with adjacent areas.

Statement:
We initially compiled the data for the entire study area through LiDAR interpretation and verified them by
direct field observations of about 400 field sites distributed across the map area.
Process step:
Process step:
Description:
Our processes included
1. making a mosaic and relief shading the LiDAR for complete coverage of NTS 84D/NW;
2. digitizing polygons and line features across the LiDAR image of NTS 84D/NW using ArcGIS;
3. labelling spatial features;
4. checking the quality of the digital file; and
5. proofreading the text.
