| Data Description |
|
|
Abstract: |
This data set is a digital version of Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) Map 48-11 B,Cheticamp, Inverness County, Nova Scotia, compiled by H. L. Cameron, 1948. The digital product was created by the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R), Mineral Resources Branch (MRB) staff. The digital product was digitized from GSC Map 48-11 B and the databases were developed from the information contained on this map. The product contains layers for geological features such as: faults, fossils, bedrock geologic units, geological contacts, gravel pit areas, mineral occurrences, outcrop areas, small outcrops, sinkholes, and structural information. |
|
|
Purpose: |
The purpose of this data set is to create a digital version of GSC Map 4811B. This digital product shows the bedrock geology for parts of NTS map sheets 11K/10 and 11K/11 (Cheticamp Area, Nova Scotia). |

Topographic information, such as the coastline, were taken from the digital 1:50 000 NTS 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. |

In 1997 the Mineral Resources Branch began a project to digitize the geological point information from a series of maps and to move the line work and point data onto the 1:50 000 NTS digital bases. This was done using summer students and casual employees (Gayle Chapman and Michelle Williamson). |

Description: |
In 2000 the project continued on to phase 2, to convert the 48 maps from Fieldlog / AutoCAD12 to ArcInfo format. Much of the work to do the conversion was automated using the FL2ARC.AML written by Brian Fisher. The work on this project was done by summer students and casual employees (Gayle Chapman, Michelle Williamson, and Megan Surrete). The work is still continuing. |

Technical Prerequisite: |
In order to view this data set, 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.
ArcView Project Information
Our SHP products include an ArcView project which have all of the shapefiles symbolized and tables loaded with link and joins already created. This project uses relative paths so it should be drive and path independent. It can be found in the c:\data_set_id\arcview\project directory.
ArcExplorer Project Information
We have also included an ArcExplorer 2 project (.aep) and an ArcExplorer 4 (.axl) project for this data set that can be found in the c:\data_set_id\arcexpl directory. The shapefiles are already loaded and have limited symbolization, any related tables are not loaded. The AEP project uses relative paths and should be no problem using it without any changes. The AXL project includes a string "#DPMEPATH#" which you will need to search for and replace with your drive letter and a colon (ex: c:) in order to make the project work. Please note the if you do not install the data set using the default path you may need to replace other parts of the reference to the path in the AXL.
Hotlinks
In order to use the hotlink feature within ArcView 3.x in you may need to load MRB's Hotlink Anything extension which may be located in the arcview/ext directory along with documentation. You may also need to set the variable MEBGIS_HOME on your system to the location of the data set on your system. The SHP product provides an ArcView project set up with the hotlinks working. Some modifications to the HOTLINK field in the database tables or in the HLFILES may be required to make the hotlink work properly. Knowledge of ArcView and hotlinks may be required to make this work properly.
A feature called hotlinks is used in ArcView to link a feature such as a mineral occurrence or cross section to a single text file, image or website etc. For features that we want to link multiple items or documents to we have developed our own hotlink extension for ArcView 3.x called "Hotlink Anything". The extension and documentation on how to install the extension, and set the required MEBGIS_HOME variable to the location of the data set on your system is included in the x:\nsgov\dig_prod_num\data_set_id\arcview\ext directory (example - c:\nsgov\dp305v1sh\g118a\arcview\ext) assuming that you used our default directories when downloading the data. The SHP product provides an ArcView project set up with the hotlinks working. Some modifications to the HOTLINK field in the database tables or in the HLFILES.TXT file may be required to make the hotlink work properly. Knowledge of ArcView and hotlinks may be required to make the native hotlink utility or our extension work properly
Problems and Limitations
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 1:31 000. |
