Surface disturbance linear features

This data shows anthropogenic polyline disturbance features. Features were digitized using high resolution satellite imagery and orthophotos. Features from the National Road Network (NRN) and the National Railway Network (NRWN) were adapted and included. The following data was not included in the dataset: proposed features. Table 1. A list of attributes, associated domains, and descriptions. Attribute Data Type Domains Description REF_ID Text (20) Unique feature reference ID DATABASE Text (20) Historic, Most Recent, Retired Sub-database to which the feature belongs TYPE_INDUSTRY Text (50) Table 2.3.2 Major classification of disturbance feature by industry TYPE_DISTURBANCE Text (50) Table 2.3.2 Sub classification of disturbance feature WIDTH_M Double Width of feature in meters WIDTH_CLASS Text (5) HIGH, MED, LOW Width of feature by classification SCALE_CAPTURED Long Scale at which the feature was digitized DATA_SOURCE Text (10) Imagery, GPS, Other Data source: digitized from imagery, captured by GPS, or obtained by other means IMAGE_NAME Text (100) Filename of source imagery IMAGE_DATE Date Date that imagery was captured (YYYYMMDD) IMAGE_RESOLUTION Double Resolution of source imagery in meters IMAGE_SENSOR Text (35) Name of sensor that captured source imagery WIDTH_M: Linear features must be attributed with a width measurement. The width of the feature can be estimated in meters, rounded to the nearest whole number. **WIDTH_CLASS: This field employs a classification scheme used by previous contractors. This classification scheme was discussed and agreed upon by Mammoth Mapping and the Project Manager in 2011-2013. The width values are the following. Table 2. Width classification breakdown.

TYPE_INDUSTRY TYPE_DISTURBANCE DESCRIPTION Mining Survey / Cutline A linear cleared area through undeveloped land, used for line-of-sight surveying; impossible to distinguish whether associated with quartz or placer mining (overlapping or unclear claims information) Survey / Cutline - Placer A linear cleared area through undeveloped land, used for line-of-sight surveying; associated with placer mining (identified using claims information and/or other indicators) Survey / Cutline - Quartz A linear cleared area through undeveloped land, used for line-of-sight surveying; associated with quartz mining (identified using claims information and/or other indicators) Trench A long, narrow excavation dug to expose vein or ore structure Unknown Unknown linear mining disturbance Oil and Gas Pipeline Visible pipeline or pipeline Right-of-Way (above- or below-ground) Seismic Line Seismic lines Rural Driveway A driveway in a rural area Fence A fence in a rural area Transportation Access Assumed A linear feature that is assumed to be an access road, but could also be a trail Access Road A road or narrow passage whose primary function is to provide access for resource extraction (i.e. mining, forestry) and may also have served in providing public access to the backcountry. Arterial Road A major thoroughfare with medium to large traffic capacity Local Road A low-speed thoroughfare, provides access to front of properties, including those with potential public restrictions such as trailer parks, First Nations land, private estate, seasonal residences, gravel pits (NRN definition for Local Street/Local Strata/Local Unknown). Shows signs of regular use. Right of Way For Road Rights as attributed in the land parcels ancillary data Trail Path or track (typically 1.5 m wide) that does not necessarily access remote resources Unknown Right of Way A right of way with unknown industry type Survey / Cutline A linear cleared area through undeveloped land, used for line-of-sight surveying. A cutline may not always be associated with mineral exploration, therefore, Type: Unknown was used to differentiate all cutlines that were outside of mineral exploration. Unknown Unclassified, or unable to identify type based on imagery, but suspected to be anthropogenic Utility Electric Utility Corridor Corridor usually running parallel to highway, where transmission lines or other utilities are visible Unknown Unknown linear feature assumed to be a utility corridor; ancillary data is unclear.
