Horizontal Positional Accuracy
Measure description:
Evaluation method description:
Accuracy of well data used for producing the bedrock topography contour and drift thickness lines are
estimated to be +/- 50 metres. The bedrock topography contour lines honour each data point and were
edited to reflect a valley incision geological model. The horizontal accuracy of contour lines varies
with well data density. Position accuracy of contour lines varies from +/- 5 km where well data are
sparse to +/- 500 m where well data are closely spaced. Drift thickness lines are dependant on bedrock
surface elevations and ground surface elevations from DEM, and reflect the same level of accuracy as
bedrock topography lines

Evaluation method description:
To generate the contour lines of the bedrock surface and drift thickness, data sources included oil and
gas wells with 1599 petrophysical logs and 130 drill cuttings, 63 water well lithologs and 85 bedrock
outcrops. Of the 1749 data points used, 87 were bedrock picks from outcrop, 737 were stratigraphic picks
of bedrock from wells, 886 were stratigraphic picks below the bedrock surface and 39 were stratigraphic
picks above the bedrock surface.

unknown
Report:
Conceptual consistency:
Measure description:
The stratigraphic picks used to produce the bedrock surface and drift thickness contours were verified for
each data point used. Contouring of the data was first done by a contouring program and then the contour
lines were hand-edited on the computer to produce the final interpretation. Data have been checked to
ensure all features are attributed, that there are no dublicates and no crossing of contours.

Process step:
Description:
The drift thickness and structure contour of the bedrock surface maps were determined from bedrock
stratigraphic picks made from three main sources: oil and gas wells, water wells and surficial
geology maps. In oil and gas wells, the bedrock picks were made using geophysical logs with
additional information from drill cuttings. From water wells, lithologic descriptions were used to
determine the depth to bedrock pick. Surficial geology maps were used to obtain bedrock outcrop
locations and areas of thin drift (less than 2 metres) overlying bedrock. Tabulated data of bedrock
picks and GIS polygons of thin drift were imported into ArcGIS v9.0 for computer contouring on a
desktop computer. Ground surface elevations were imported as DEM data into the project software.
Bedrock depth picks of each data point were then converted to bedrock elevations above sea level by
subtracting depths from DEM data values at that data location. The data were then gridded using the
Natural Neighbors method in the 3D Analyst tool in ArcGIS. The resultant grid of the bedrock surface
was checked for conflicts and edited to not exceed the ground surface. Next the corrected grid was
contoured using XTools in ArcGIS. The contoured lines were then manually edited using the ArcGIS
software to reflect a valley incision geological model. The final bedrock contours were regridded
using a 60 m cell size to produce infill colour rendition. The drift thickness map was finally
created by subtracting the bedrock surface grid from a grid of the ground surface topography. The
resultant grid was then smoothed using Neighborhood Statistics under the Spatial Analyst tool in
ArcGIS using the following parameters: rectangular mean statistics type, neighborhood settings of
cell height and width of 5, and output cell size of 300. The resultant grid was then contoured to
create a drift thickness map.
All map interpretation and preparation was done using ArcGIS v9.0 on a desktop computer.
