How to Select an Edge Layer

GeoVista enables you to identify the names of the edge layers that appear in your map. These layers appear as lines on your map and show you the erosional limits, subcrops, inliers, and outliers of specific geological formations that have been regionally mapped for Alberta (For example, Mississippian Easternmost Subcrop and Leduc Pinnacle Reef). These edges give you method for determining whether to expect specific formations to occur in a particular well or area. GeoVista arranges the layers by geological age in the Layer Manager tab.

You need a license to view edge layers. Please contact Divestco Support for more information.
