OVERVIEW A GIS dataset of
geological features for the Kluachesi Lake map area (94G/13), Peace River District, British Columbia. Points, lines,
polygons, and attributes representing the geology of the area covered by
NTS map 94G/13 in British Columbia, Canada. Bounding Coordinates: Geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude) in decimal degrees. SW Bounding Coordinate: 57.75 -124.00 SE Bounding Coordinate: 57.75 -123.50 NW Bounding Coordinate: 58.00 -124.00 NE Bounding
Coordinate: 58.00 -123.50 Platform: Desktop Computer Operating System: Microsoft Windows2000 Application:
MicroStation/J, ArcInfo 8.2 Geological
stations were positioned using uncorrected GPS NAD27 coordinates.
Coordinates were transformed to NAD83 using NTV2 software and
compilation was based on the positions of the stations. Prior to compilation the base map data was converted from metric to Imperial
values in ArcInfo 8.2 using a conversion factor of 0.3048. This
conversion achieved consistency with Geomatics Canada hardcopy maps used
during field data collection and which were available only in Imperial
units. Projection: Universal Transverse Mercator Horizontal Datum: North American Datum 1983 Vertical Datum: Mean Sea Level Scale: 1:50 000

LINEAGE: Geological data
was compiled from field inspection and scientific interpretation. Independent
evaluation of the attribute and positional accuracy of the geological
data were conducted by peer review. The accuracy of
the source components that originated in the Geomatics Canada digital
files, the geological source data digital files, and the National Energy
Board of Canada data text files was maintained. This map may
contain discrepancies between feature positions located using an older
topographic base, and feature positions determined by more recent (GPS)
measurements. Inconsistencies (locally in excess of 100 metres) have
been resolved by creating a thematically consistent map (consistency
between geology and topography) while maintaining the spatial accuracy
of the outcrops (where located by GPS points). This may result in
apparent errors between the outcrop locations, and the positions of the geological
contact lines. Every effort has been made to reduce these discrepancies
while maintaining the accuracy of all source data. The Geomatics
Canada Drawing Exchange Format (DXF) files were uploaded to
MicroStation/J on a Windows2000 operating system. Geological
linework was digitized using MicroStation/J. Geological points were
plotted by interfacing MicroStation/J and a Microsoft Access2000
database. All data were edited and finalized in ArcInfo 8.2. All data
file
types were created from ArcInfo 8.2. Data are provided
in the following file types: .shp ArcView
Version 3.2 format SPATIAL DATA FILES: The data are
arranged according to the following: gel94g13 geological contacts srp94g13 orientation data stp94g13 geological stations wlp94g13 wells sap94g13 samples una94g13 geological unit polygons unl94g13 geological unit lines
