GEOLOGICAL MAP PRODUCTION USING GIS SOFTWARE Gary Labelle, Paul Huppe, Vic Dohar, and Mario Methot Geoscience Information and Communications Division Geological Survey of Canada, Natural Resources Canada 601 Booth Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0E8 KEY WORDS: GIS, Cartography, Geology, Topography, Scanning, Digitizing, Hardware, Software ABSTRACT Our primary goal is to produce geological maps using digital outlines of geology from AutoCad, FieldLog, scanned images, and other systems, incorporate digital base map information with geology, add text, line work, symbols, surround information, and output the results on colour electrostatic plotters and film imaging systems. Work has included the development of routines to handle external digital sources of base data, development of archiving procedures, cartographic editing routines, CMYK colour modelling specifications, font handling procedures, and plotting procedures to obtain hard copy output from postscript files. CARTOGRAPHY SECTION The section's map production procedures are based on the Environmental Systems Research Institute's (ESRI) ARC/INFO 6.1.1 computer assisted mapping and geographic information management system. The primary platform used is the SUN SPARC2 work station. Work stations are linked in a Local Area Network (LAN). This configuration offers the optimum combination of digital mapping applications, workstation performance, and network environment. ARC/INFO software links cartographic data in vector files (ARC) with attribute information (INFO). ARC and INFO are both independent and fully integrated. Data files can be separately manipulated, and updating one system automatically updates appropriate data in the other system. Routines and expertise that will greatly facilitate future map production is continually being developed in cooperation with the Computer Technology Section. These routines, menus or graphical user interfaces (GUI), include procedures for creating a watermask, labelled neatline, key maps, legends, scale bars, and streamlining routine tasks such as attributing geological polygons and adding complex structural symbols by providing AML routines to prompt and present logical choices. Symbol libraries for various fault types, colour tables for shading polygons, and geological symbols are being created or imported from other systems and stored in our symbol library. THE COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY SECTION The Computer Technology Section provides expertise by testing and evaluating hard copy output procedures, developing aids to import external digital data sources, and advice on the acquisition and future direction for automation. WORKING WITH DIGITAL TOPOGRAPHIC BASES Users should acquire digital base imagery from a recognized cartographic mapping institution such as NRCan, provincial mapping agencies, and private sector companies with a good track record for supplying quality digital mapping imagery. If you change the data resolution by generalizing or weeding out vertices to make the base digital imagery more manageable on PC based systems, be sure to retain the original copies for Cartography to bring the imagery back up to pre-press quality. Publication submissions should include digital bases and geological outlines. We will mix traditional and digital technologies to produce hard copy maps. PREPARING HARD COPY MANUSCRIPTS FOR DIGITAL PRODUCTION A. Ink all geological contacts and faults on a photolysis image or a matte film overlay using drafting pens as follows: - . Contacts (4000 pen); Faults (42 pen). - Ink density should be as black as possible, linework should be sharp, clean and unbroken. 294 Cal afte Cor ink the be | Clo wal = Tie B.
