Download GIS Shapefiles

Shapefiles of Alberta geology are available in geographic (lat-long, NAD83) coordinates.  The files are in zip format (prepared using WinZip 8.0), and include both the shapefile and a metadata record. You will need a GIS program to view the shapefiles, such as ArcGIS or ArcExplorer. You can download a free copy of ArcExplorer from ESRI's website.
