Abstract:
This dataset contains the digital release of the Oak Ridge Moraine regional structural model. The model was developed under the Geological Survey of Canada'a NATMAP (National Mapping Program) and Groundwater Program in collaboration with partner agencies (OGS, OME, OMNR, CAMC). The model consists of a series of gridded surfaces that define the top and bottom of 5 Quaternary stratigraphic units plus the bedrock surface. The modelled units are, stratigraphically from oldest to youngest: 1) Paleozoic bedrock, 2)Lower sediment, 3) Newmarket Till, 4) ORM sediment, 5) Halton Till, and 6) Glaciolacustrine and Recent sediment. Each unit has a companion confidence map that is based on the proximity to, and relative quality of data control points that were used to interpolate its surface. The dataset is provided in a standard ASCII grid.
Purpose: To provide a detailed overview of the Oak Ridges Moraine.

Native_Data_Set_Environment:
The geological compilation was digitized from paper maps using AutoCAD. The digital CAD files were then imported into ArcInfo v7 (UNIX Solaris OS) to create the polygon topology. These files were subsequently saved as ArcView 3.1 shape files. (Windows 95 and Windows NT OS).
