  Abstract: This digital product is a digital version of Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R) Published Map ME 1979-3, Bouguer Gravity Anomaly Map 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 Map ME 1979-3 and the databases were developed from the information contained on this map. The digital product contains a layer of bouguer gravity contours.
  Purpose: The purpose of this data set is to create a digital version of NSNR&R Map ME 79-3. This digital product shows the bouguer gravity anomalies of the Province of Nova Scotia.

  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 1:500 000
  Ordering Fee: Free
  Instructions: The data set can be downloaded over the Internet.
