Abstract: This GIS dataset depicts the surficial geology of the NTS map area 84B (point features). The 1:250 000 scale dataset was compiled from four published 1:100 000 scale maps (AGS maps 265, 266, 267 and 267). The aggregated data was generalized by thinning out features where too dense to be represented clearly. The process was overseen by the mapping geologist.The data are created in ArcInfo format and output for public distribution in Arc export (E00) and shapefile formats.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy
Measure description:
Evaluation method description:
Accuracy of the surface feature interpretations is estimated 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 has been conducted to verify the interpretation is correct; however, field site data serve to
provide control on interpretation. Site locations are measured with handheld GPS units, whose error is
estimated at better than +/- 10 m on the ground. RMS error during georeferencing of the scanned image is
less than +/- 10 m.
