This digital product is a digital version insert map, Structural Map of Nova Scotia from the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R) Map ME 1979-1, Geological Map of the Province of Nova Scotia, compiled by J. D. Keppie, 1979. The digital product was created by the NSNR&R, Mineral Resources Branch (MRB) staff. The digital product was digitized from the Structural Map of Nova Scotia insert included on Map ME 1979-1 and the databases were developed from the information contained on this map. The digital product contains layers for geological features such as: bedrock geologic units, faults, folds, anticlines/synclines, dykes and unconformities.
Purpose:
The purpose of this data set is to create a digital version of the Structural insert map contained NSNR&R Map ME 79-1. This digital product shows the structural geology of the Province of Nova Scotia.

Topographic information, such as the coastline, were taken from the digital 1:1 000 000 base maps and used to construct the geological polygons while other features such as roads, streams and lakes were used to georeference the hard copy map to the digital bases during the digitizing process
The map was originally digitized and databases built by Synmap Technologies as part of RFP 1994-001148. Corrections to the original digitizing and database coding were done by Synmap and the NSNR&R MRB Staff.
In 2002 the NSNR&R staff gave the data set a new data set ID, p7901m (from p7901mt), and moved it to an ArcInfo workspace of the same name under BGEO1000. The coverage called metageo was renamed to p7901mmt. This was done for consistancy with the rest of the NSNR&R MRB GIS. The fields contained in the INFO database table p7901mmt.met_desc were joined to the feature attribute table p7901mmt.pat and a new field called Legend was added.
In January 2006 the shapefiles were updated to our current database standards and then converted from UTM zone 20 NAD27 coordinates to UTM zone 20 NAD83 coordinates. The conversion was done by running a series of 3 AMLS:shp2arc.aml, project_nad27-83.aml and shptrans.aml. This work was done by Brian Fisher Feb. 23 , 2006.

Technical Prerequisite:
In order to view this dataset, mapping software is required (eg. ArcView, MapInfo, AutoCad). If you do not have this software, ESRI provides a free map viewer called ArcExplorer, which you can download over the Internet. This viewer works with the E00 files and an ArcExplorer Import Utility (import71.exe) is needed to convert the E00 files into ArcInfo coverages, which can be then viewed in ArcExplorer. Problems have been reported trying to import ARC E00 files into ArcView on Windows 95 computers. Related tables do not import into ArcView. It is not a problem on UNIX, Windows 3.1 or Windows NT platforms. If you experience this problem you can use our DXF/DBF product which contains the tables in dBase format. dBase files can be imported into ArcView. This map is intended for use at the published scale of 1:1 000 000
