Abstract: This dataset results from mapping the surficial geology, and sand and gravel deposits with aggregate potential in the McLennan area (NTS 83N). This shapefile shows where materials and geology were observed at natural outcrops, sand and gravel pits, hand auger holes, and excavations dug by a backhoe. The type, thickness and order of the observed materials are described in the attribute table. Map 536 is a PDF version generated from the shapefiles.

Vertical Positional Accuracy
Measure description:
The owner's manual for the GPS Map 60CSx and GPS Map 76 CSx report an accuracy of +/- 10 feet, resolution
1 foot, subject to proper user calibration. The user of the GPS Map 60CSx did not calibrate the
altimeter, and it is unknown whether the users of the GPS Map 76CSx calibrated the altimeter. Therefore,
the vertical positional accuracy of 3 metres should be viewed cautiously.

Measure description:
Spatial locations and site numbers are unique. Elevations of "0" mean the elevation was not recorded in
the original site descriptions. At least one unit was described for each location. We described
additional units if we observed them at the location. Stratigraphically speaking, Unit 1 overlies Unit
2, which overlies Unit 3, which overlies Unit 4. The unit thickness was reported only if the thickness
was documented in the original site description. For each site, the thickness of the deepest unit
indicated the minimum thickness of that unit. Attributes were scanned visually for correctness. Three
people described the sites for two different purposes: surficial geology mapping, and sand and gravel
mapping. Whenever possible, the surficial geology material descriptions were modified to conform to sand
and gravel terminology.

Description:
While mapping the sand and gravel deposits in the McLennan area, the materials and geology observed at
natural outcrops, sand and gravel pits, hand auger holes, and excavations dug by a backhoe were
described on paper forms and in field notebooks. We recorded the locations of the site
investigations using a GPS (Garmin GPSmap 60CSx). A summer student entered these observations and
locations into an Access database. The author verified the data by visually inspecting every record
entered by the student.
The Access database was queried to make a table that included the name, location and materials
observed at each site. This table was appended to the table of sites that were observed by the
surficial geology mappers (Appendix 1 of Alberta Geological Survey Open File Report 2008-02). The
site descriptions from the Open File Report were edited to match the convention of the sand and
gravel site data. We entered the table of site descriptions into ArcGIS and created a shapefile of
site investigations in 83N for public distribution.
