# Mapping 2023 for Bilijk

### Summary

Abstract | This product provides large scale mapping (i.e. 1:1 000 to 1:5 000) of Canada Lands located in Atlantic Canada. It contains topographic information including utilities, land cover, occupational limits and administrative boundaries, contours, hydrography, building and transportation features. The mapping information is derived from high resolution aerial photography or large scale aerial photographs. The data is available in both ESRI file geodatabase (GeoDB_File) and DXF formats.

Horizontal Positional Absolute Accuracy | 0.2500 The horizontal positional absolute accuracy of the dataset is measured as the difference between entity positions in the dataset and their real ground positions measured in reference to the coordinate reference system. The accuracy is expressed in metres at 95% confidence level. The absolute accuracy value is an estimate based on a brief analysis of the aerotriangulation results; a brief comparison analysis between control points measured on the new stereoscopic models and the control points measured in the field; and a brief comparison analysis between sample points measured on the new stereoscopic models and the existing topographic mapping sheets prepared by the Surveyor General Branch. A field inspection of a few points using GPS is performed occasionally.
Vertical Positional Absolute Accuracy | 0.3500 The vertical positional absolute accuracy of the dataset is measured as the difference between vertical entity positions (spot heights and contour lines) in the dataset and their real ground positions measured in reference to the vertical reference system (CGVD28). The accuracy is expressed in metres at 95% confidence level. The vertical absolute accuracy value is an estimate based on a brief analysis of the aerotriangulation results; a brief comparison analysis between control points measured on the new stereoscopic models and the control points measured in the field; and a brief comparison analysis between sample points measured on the new stereoscopic models and the existing topographic mapping sheets prepared by the Surveyor General Branch. A field inspection of a few points using GPS is performed occasionally.

Abstract:
  This product provides large scale mapping (i.e. 1:1 000 to 1:5 000) of Canada Lands located in Atlantic Canada. It contains topographic information including utilities, land cover, occupational limits and administrative boundaries, contours, hydrography, building and transportation features.

  [(#fra)Ce produit fournit la cartographie à grande échelle (par ex. : 1:1 000 à 1:5 000) pour les Terres du Canada situées au Canada atlantique. Celui-ci contient les informations topographiques, y compris les services d'utilité publique, la couverture terrestre, les limites d'occupation et les limites administratives, l'hypsométrie, l'hydrographie, les bâtiments et le transport. L'information cartographique est dérivée de la photographie aérienne à haute résolution ou de photos aériennes à grande échelle. Les données sont disponibles dans les formats ESRI "file geodatabase" (GeoDB_File) et DXF.]

Purpose:
  The dataset was created, in collaboration with Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC), as part of the Mapping programs on Indian reserves of Atlantic. The purpose of this mapping is to provide a topographical representation of the land in support of survey projects and economic development of Aboriginal communities of Atlantic Canada. This mapping data set is not to be used for defining boundaries. Boundary decisions should be based on legal documents and official cadastral survey plans.
  [(#fra)Cette cartographie a été réalisée, en collaboration avec Relations Couronne-Autochtones et Affaires du Nord Canada (RCAANC), dans le cadre des programmes de cartographie des réserves indiennes du Canada atlantique . L'objectif de cette cartographie est de fournir une représentation topographique des terres pour appuyer les projets d'arpentage et le développement économique des communautés autochtones de l’Atlantique. Ce jeu de données cartographiques ne doit pas être utilisé pour définir les limites. Les décisions relatives aux limites doivent être fondées sur des documents légaux et des plans officiels d'arpentage cadastral.]
