Kioloa Geology (1997).
The geology was derived from digitizing a number of different geological
maps of the area. The projections and scales differed between the maps
and where possible the largest scale map was used. They were all
projected to UTM.

Lineage:
5 different geological maps were digitized in 1995 and 1996 by Kevin
Cowan and Belinda Allison to produce the geology of the area. These were:

Kioloa 1:25 000
Gostin, V.A. PhD thesis (Geology) Australian National University 1969.
The maps were digitized and projected to UTM and then pasted together.
Where overlaps occurred, the map with the most detail was used (generally
the largest scale map). Where necessary, arcs were adjusted to join at
map edges.
Completeness:
The Geology is complete. The polygons are labelled with the appropriate
geology type ('geol_type').
Consistency:
Consistency is variable due to the range of different map scales.
Correctness:
Correctness is variable. Where necessary arcs were adjusted to join at
map edges. Where differences occurred between overlapping maps, the
geology from the largest scale map was assumed to be correct.
