Data Description |
|
Abstract: |
This digital product is a digital version of NSNR&R Open File Map (OFM) ME 2000-4, Mineral Resource Landuse (MRLU) Maps, Nova Scotia compiled by D. B. Hopper, F. J. Bonner, B. E. Fisher, and A. N. Murphy of the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R), Mineral Resources Branch (MRB). A total of 98 planimetric (1:50 000 scale) Mineral Resource Land-Use (MRLU) maps combine to form a thematic atlas, which covers the province of Nova Scotia including all near-shore islands and Sable Island. The digital product consisting of 98 PDF files based on NTS 1:50 000 Map Sheets deals with information such as: mineral and aggregate resources, energy resources, geology for land-use / environmental planning, and land designation and access. |
|
Purpose: |
The purpose of this digital data set is to create a digital version of Open File Map ME 2000-4. The main purpose in preparing this atlas is to provide the public with a single geographic compilation of mineral resource and related land-use information at a reasonably detailed scale. A key objective is to create a useful reference for practitioners working in land-use and environmental planning, geotechnical firms, and groups involved in community economic development. |

Description: |
In 1998 Angela Murphy, a planning student from COGS, was hired to write an ArcInfo application that would automate the production of one or more of the 98 1:50 000 NTS maps sheets that are part of the atlas. Angela was hired again in the summer of 1999 to work on the project and was kept on staff as a casual at the end of the summer to complete work on the project. During this time she was also building and editing new layers for the maps. |
