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

photographs, and previously published mapping in the area.
Result:

Report:
Conceptual consistency:
Measure description:
The digital vector data are topologically correct lines as built and enforced using ArcGIS software. Due
to the availability of high-quality, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) bare-earth digital elevation
model data (unpublished) for NTS 84E/SE, it was possible to delineate polygons and lines that would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 84E/SE that do not have a corresponding boundary in the adjacent
study areas. Consequently, NTS 84E/SE is not fully edge-matched with adjacent areas. Line features
intersect only where intended.

Statement:
The data represent surficial geology interpretations based on LiDAR bare-earth data, orthorectified aerial
photographs, and previously published mapping in the area.
Process step:
Process step:
Description:
Our processes included
1. making a LiDAR imagery mosaic for complete coverage of NTS 84E/SE and relief shading the LiDAR
bare-earth digital elevation model (DEM);
2. digitizing polygons and line features across the LiDAR image of NTS 84E/SE using ArcGIS;
3. labelling spatial features;
4. checking quality of digital file; and
5. proofreading text.
