We estimate the accuracy of the surface-feature interpretations to be better than +/- 100 m on the ground,

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, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) bare-earth
digital elevation model data (unpublished) for NTS 84G/NE, it was possible to delineate polygons and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 84G/NE that do not have a corresponding
boundary in the adjacent study areas. Consequently, NTS 84G/NE is not fully edge-matched with adjacent
areas.

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 84G/NE and relief shading the LiDAR
bare-earth digital elevation model (DEM);
2. clipping Landsat-8 scenes LT50450192008228PAC01, LT50450202008228PAC01, LT50450191984210PAC00 and
LT50450201984210PAC00 (courtesy of the U.S. Geological Survey) to the map area boundary;
3. performing image classification on the Landsat data, collecting training objects, and classifying
peatlands using Landsat spectral properties and LiDAR topographic indices;
4. delineating non-peatland polygons from object-based analysis of a slope image derived from the
LiDAR imagery
5. augmenting the classified landforms with digitization of polygons and line features across the
LiDAR image of NTS 84G/NE using ArcGIS;
6. labelling spatial features;
7. checking the quality of the digital file; and
8. proofreading the text.
