Winterburn Group Depositional Elements Map For Western Canada Sedimentary Basin

Mid-1990s GIS data from the Alberta Geological Survey, edited in 2005-06, represents depositional elements and index maps for Devonian Woodbend-Winterburn strata. This polygon feature dataset is part of the Geological Atlas of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. It was consolidated from archived digital files into single shapefiles by feature type.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial distribution of depositional elements like reefs or channels using polygon features.
• Map geological index features for regional stratigraphic correlation within the Winterburn Group.
• Integrate polygon data with other subsurface datasets for basin-scale geological modeling.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Alberta Geological Survey.
• Polygon features were consolidated and attributed during a dedicated 2005-06 editing process.

Limitations

• The underlying data was created in the mid-1990s and may not reflect recent findings.
• Specific row counts, column details, and sample data are unavailable for assessment.
• Potential for positional or attribution errors inherent in older digital files.
