Data Description
  Abstract: This digital product is a digital version of Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R) Published Map ME 2000-01, Geological Map of the Province of Nova Scotia, compiled by J. D. Keppie, 2000. The digital product was created by the NSNR&R, Mineral Resources Branch (MRB) staff. The original data was compiled and digitized from over 60 maps and sources of information that are noted on the map. The GIS databases were developed from the information contained on this map. The digital product contains layers for geological features such as: bedrock geologic units, faults, geological contacts, isotope ages, other geological features.
  Purpose: The purpose of this data set is to create a digital version of NSNR&R Map ME 2000-01. This digital product shows the bedrock geology of the Province of Nova Scotia.

Processing Step Information
 
Processing Step (1 of 5)
  Description: This map was begun around 1991 when Duncan Keppie had LRIS begin digitizing the geological boundaries off a number of selected geology maps. After leaving NR&R he continued to work on the project under a contract to Brendan Murphy. At this time he work with Claudia Currie at GSC Atlantic to compile the map to a 1:500 000 scale. After Claudia complete her part of the job around 1996 or 1997 the map was handed back to MRB where Brian Fisher and Janette Vavra worked on developing the GIS database and the ArcInfo coverages. The map and legend were created by wayne burt in NR&R's Cartography Section. Kathy Mills did an extensive editing of the map and information contained in some of the databases.

  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.
