Surficial Geology Polygons for Willow River Alberta

Polygon features depict the surficial geology of the Willow River area within NTS map area 83O Northeast. The Government of Alberta created the data in ArcInfo format, distributing it as Arc export and shapefiles. The metadata was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Classify landform types using polygon attributes for terrain stability analysis.
• Map surficial material distribution for aggregate resource exploration and planning.
• Integrate geological polygon layers with hydrological models for watershed studies.
• Analyze spatial relationships between surficial geology polygons and ecological zones.

Strengths

• Data is provided in standard GIS formats (shapefile, E00) for interoperability.
• Produced by the Government of Alberta, an authoritative source for regional geological data.

Limitations

• Specific data volume, row count, and attribute column details are unknown.
• The original data format is ArcInfo-specific, which may require conversion for some GIS tools.
