Contents

Open File 7440 is part of a series of 15 open files, OF 7435 to 7448. The series contains legacy geology data and remote predictive mapping information for a large part of eastern mainland Nunavut, collected over 2 years, to improve geoscience knowledge in the least understood parts of Canada’s north. The derived data products from this work are presented in 15 separate thematic packages to keep the size of downloads between 1 and 4 GB. 

The ArcMap document (Geo-frontiers_TravMaps_NTS_46.mxd) was created in version 9.3.  Previous versions of the software will be unable to open and view this file. Note that the directory structure below must be maintained to allow ArcGIS to open the geodatabase and display the photos and xml reports properly.
 
In addition, the same mxd structure has been used in all the other Open Files in the series OF 7434 to 7448. Therefore there will be broken data links in the ArcGIS workspace, unless the other data sets are all downloaded, but this will not affect the display of data included in this publication.
