Title: surficial_ply Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Online_Linkage: \data\surficial_geology\surficial_ply.shp Description: Abstract: The surficial geology of the Cape Smith Penninsula was compiled from three "A" Series maps by R. Daigneault: AS1861, 1862, and 1863, and one "A" Series map by R.J. Fulton: AS1880. Purpose: This dataset is intended as a map of the surficial geology of the Cape Smith Penninsula.

A small area in the south was mapped for the bedrock compilation, but not for surficial deposits. That area was clipped out of "A" Series map 1880 and merged with the other polygons. The mapunit names were changed to match the units from the three other "A" Series maps (1861, 1862, 1863). The legend information is stored in a table called surficial_ply_leg and can be joined based on the MAPUNIT field.
