Surficial Geology and Permafrost Features of Levellers Creek

Alberta Geological Survey Map 574 provides a geospatial dataset depicting surficial geology and discontinuous permafrost polygon features for the Levellers Creek area. The data were created in geodatabase format and distributed publicly as shapefiles. It was published by the Government of Alberta and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Classify permafrost polygon features to model ground stability and thermal regime changes.
• Map surficial geology units for regional geological studies and resource exploration.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of discontinuous permafrost features for climate impact assessments.
• Integrate polygon features with other geospatial layers for terrain analysis and hazard mapping.

Strengths

• Data is part of the authoritative Alberta Geological Survey Map 574 series.
• Features are provided in standard GIS formats (geodatabase, shapefile) for public distribution.
• Dataset was updated in March 2026, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Specific row counts, column details, and spatial resolution are not provided.
• Coverage is limited to the Levellers Creek area (NTS 84E/NW), a specific region in Alberta.
• Sample data and a detailed data dictionary are unavailable for review.
