Abstract: This is a GIS dataset containing digitized and attributed polygon features from scanned Alberta Geological Survey Maps 201, 202, 203 and 204. The data show the surficial geology of the Calgary urban area (NTS areas 82O/01, 82P/04, 82J/16 and 82I/13) and are attributed with stratigraphic unit, lithology, lithogenesis, morphology, veneer material and the unit labels as shown on the maps. The data from the four maps are presented in a single polygon layer.

Abstract:
This is a GIS dataset containing digitized and attributed polygon features from scanned Alberta Geological
Survey Maps 201, 202, 203 and 204. The data show the surficial geology of the Calgary urban area (NTS areas
82O/01, 82P/04, 82J/16 and 82I/13) and are attributed with stratigraphic unit, lithology, lithogenesis,
morphology, veneer material and the unit labels as shown on the maps. The data from the four maps are
presented in a single polygon layer.
Purpose:
For query and spatial analysis of the surficial geology of NTS areas 82O/01 and 82J/16 and the western halves
of NTS 82P/04 and 82I/01.
Credit:
GISmo Solutions prepared the preliminary linework. Data attribution, checking and corrections by R. Elgr and

The source maps cover all of map areas 82O/01and 82J/16, but only the western halves of 82P/04 and 82I/13,

Conceptual consistency:
Measure description:
The data represents a contiguous set of polygons for the mapped area. As this map is strictly a data
conversion of a paper source map, no effort was made to ensure continuity of features with existing
surficial data in adjacent study areas (i.e., edgematching).
Result:

Report:
Non quantitative attribute accuracy:
Measure description:
L1_LABEL attribute: 5% of the values in this field were checked by examining every 20th record in the
attribute table, then comparing values to the source map. Of this subset, less than 2% were found in
error, and those errors were corrected. Code 'PS-' as shown on the scan of original paper map was
changed to '-PS' based on coding in the map legend. In two instances, code '-PF' as shown on the scan
was changed to 'PF' based on coding in the map legend. Other minor discrepancies in the map were
adjusted in the dataset under the direction of an Alberta Geological Survey surficial geologist. In
addition, unique listings of the domain values for all text fields were generated, then proofread and
corrected.

Mylar versions of AGS Maps 201, 202, 203 and 204 were scanned at 300 dpi. GISmo Solutions Ltd.
georeferenced the images and digitized the linework into an ESRI geodatabase. Polygons were coded
with an integer linking to each type of surficial polygon in the 4 maps' legends.
