Description: NTDB digital topographical dataset of NTS sheets within NWT, Nunavut and Yukon with northern parts of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan (to the 59th parallel). The National Topographic Data Base (NTDB) comprises digital vector data sets that cover the entire Canadian landmass. Geomatics Canada has digitized and structured thousands of topographic maps, creating a complete and uniform product that can be highly useful in a broad range of industries. The NTDB includes features such as watercourses, urban areas, railways, roads, vegetation, and relief.The organizational unit for the NTDB is the National Topographic System (NTS), based on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Each file (data set) consists of one NTS unit at either the 1:50,000 or 1:250,000 scale. Furthermore, the data is now available by themes within a file. The ground data is depicted through points, lines, and areas.

Description: The precursor to the CGNDB (Canadian Geographical Names Database) was developed in 1978 to replace an expanding paper file catalogue in place since the establishment of the Geographical Board of Canada in 1897. The Geographical Board of Canada was later replaced by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

Description: This dataset represents points where address site data has been collected. These points are an amalgamation of different origin point data translated into a NG911-compliant schema using ESRI's Address Management Solution as a reference for compliance and data integrity.*This dataset requires extensive QA/QC and should not be used as an authoritative, source only for application-testing purposes*

Description: The place names data was compiled from the Atlas of Canada 1,000,000 National Frameworks Data, Canadian Place Names and validated for currentness using the Canadian Geographical Names Database. The choice of names was based on population size, historical significance and noteworthiness. Cartographic considerations were also taken into account. Population numbers were added to the data using the 2006 Statistics Canada data and other authoritative sources. The population number was obtained by matching the place name with the geographical area from the 2006 Statistics Canada database. Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) First Nation Profiles were used as a source when there are no appropriate names available from the CGNDB or populations available from the Statistics Canada geographies. A selection attribute was added for each name in order to facilitate the display of names at a dense or sparse selection.The Atlas of Canada National Scale Data 1:1,000,000 Series consists of boundary, coast, island, place name, railway, river, road, road ferry and waterbody data sets that were compiled to be used for atlas large scale (1:1,000,000 to 1:4,000,000) mapping. These data sets have been integrated so that their relative positions are cartographically correct. Any data outside of Canada included in the data sets is strictly to complete the context of the data.

Description: The combined NWT and Nunavut West grid, section and Unit boundaries in a geographic coordinate system (GCS) North American Datum 1983 (NAD83), is for reference purposes to determine the legal land description references for oil and gas land tenure in the NWT and for mineral and oil and gas land tenure in Nunavut. The grid, section and unit boundaries have a 1 grid cell overlap into Nunavu to ensure complete reference coverage in the easter portion of the NWT.
The land division system used for describing the extent of oil and gas interests located in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut or in Canada's offshore area is defined in the Canada Oil and Gas Land Regulations. This land division system consists of a grid system divided into Grid Areas, Sections, and Units – all referenced to the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27). This data provides the geo-spatial representation of the NAD27 Oil and Gas Grid Areas referenced to NAD83 Datum. The creation of the Oil and Gas Grid Areas geo-spatial file covers areas that are situated in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut or Sable Island as well as submarine areas, not within a province, in the internal waters of Canada, the territorial sea of Canada or the continental shelf of Canada beyond 200 nm zone. The NAD83 grid area boundaries are defined by geodesics joining the four grid area corners. For sections and units, the eastern and western grid area geodesic boundaries are partitioned into 40 equal segments. The northern and southern grid area geodesic boundaries are partitioned into 40, 32 or 24 equal segments, depending on latitude. All internal corners at the section and unit level are defined by the intersections of north-south and east-west geodesics joining corresponding partition points along the northern and southern, and eastern and western, grid area geodesic boundaries.
