Victory Point FX produced a comprehensive GIS database of existing ecological and geographic data for the Dehcho land claim area. The project involved reviewing and compiling GIS data holdings from Dehcho First Nations and other stakeholders, compiling supporting metadata, creating detailed land-use maps, and producing a distributable digital atlas on CD. Many data sources from older mapping systems and archival map collections were converted and digitized including the Dene/Métis Mapping Project for all 10 Dehcho communities (converted from Atlas GIS), Randy Freeman's Dehcho Toponymy Database (digitized and converted to Dene orthography), an Oil and Gas Potential Map from the 1980s, conversion of seismic track lines from National Energy Board databases, conversion of the South Nahanni Watershed Woodland Caribou Study (8 maps), digitization of the Norman Wells to Zama right of way and compressor stations (from Enbridge maps), an image mosaic created from 1:20,000 scale forest resource inventory data, and compilation of 33 digitized Northern Land Use Information Series maps.
The data was organized into several different thematic categories as follows.
