Aboriginal and Inuit Owned Lands (0)

The Aboriginal Lands product consists of polygon entities that depict the administrative boundaries (extent) of lands where the title has been vested in specific Aboriginal Groups of Canada or lands which were set aside for their exclusive benefit. More specifically it includes the following lands: -Land Claim Settlement Lands - Lands created under Comprehensive Land Claims Process that do not or will not have Indian Reserve status under the Indian Act. They include: - Inuit Owned Lands (IOL) as defined in the Agreement between the Inuit of the Nunavut Settlement Area and Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada given effect and declared valid by the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act. It includes all parcels that have been surveyed and those that do not require a survey (this includes the islands). Survey plans may not all be recorded in the CLSR at this time. Gwich'in Lands as defined in the Gwich'in Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement, given effect and declared valid by the Gwich'in Land Claim Settlement Act. Inuvialuit Lands as defined in the Western Arctic (Inuvialuit) Claims Settlement Act. Sahtu Lands as defined in The Sahtu Dene and Métis Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement given effect and declared valid by the Sahtu Dene and Métis Land Claim Settlement Act. All parcels are included but not all survey plans are recorded in the CLSR at this time. Tlicho lands, as defined in the Tlicho Agreement, given effect and declared valid by the Tlicho Land Claims and Self-Government Act.

Conservation/Protected Areas (2)

New feature class structure to capture areas that limit the ability to dispose of the land (surface or subsurface). There are three related feature classes depending on the type/amount and source of restriction. The definitions below should help determine which feature class to use. The shapes in these feature classes are in the process of being QC'd by the withdrawals working group and will be updated when QC is complete. All attribute information in these feature classes come directly from Commissioner's Order (or other legislation). Commissioner's Orders have registration numbers that start with R-, Other numbers in that field may refer to Order in Councils (OIC) from federal government.Withdrawn lands – registered Commissioner's Order where the land is withdrawn from use either/both surface and subsurface, both permanent and temporary where GNWT is prohibited from disposing of the land.Regulated areas – potential restrictions to development/access due to various legislations (multiple government levels) on lands partially or wholly managed by GNWT (ex. territorial parks, migratory bird sanctuaries, Mackenzie bison sanctuary).Conservation areas – complete restriction to development/access but not through Commissioner's Order, instead with some other form of legislation/agreement (multiple government levels) for the purpose of protection or conservation (ex. land use plan protected areas, marine protected areas) on lands partially or wholly managed by GNWT.

Community Boundary (9)

This data represents the defined boundaries of geographic areas within which each community can realistically and regularly enforce its authority over all matters within its jurisdiction. The community boundary reflects a sense of common association whereby people within that boundary relate to the locality as a centre for services. The boundary is of such a size and scope as to allow the community government the capability to meet reasonable service demands for municipal services to be delivered in a cost-effective manner to all community residents. The dataset is periodically updated on a community-wide scale. To see a current list of the last updates to all of the MACA datasets see http://gis.maca.gov.nt.ca/website/Atlas_Data_Updates.pdf.

Vegetation Polygon (11)

This data represents such features as trees, clearings, scrub brush, cut lines, rock outcrops, frost polygons, pingos, etc. within each community of the Northwest Territories. The dataset is periodically updated on a community-wide scale. To see a current list of the last updates to all of the MACA datasets see http://gis.maca.gov.nt.ca/website/Atlas_Data_Updates.pdf.

Unsurveyed Parcels (13)

This data provides the unsurveyed cadastral framework within each community of the Northwest Territories. The lines form the unsurveyed boundaries of the sketches and are continuously updated. To see a current list of the last updates to all of the MACA datasets see http://gis.maca.gov.nt.ca/website/Atlas_Data_Updates.pdf.

Building Foot Print (15)

This data represents the outline of building polygons within each community of the Northwest Territories. The dataset is periodically updated on a community-wide scale and updated with new construction/demolitions as shown on newly-registered plans of survey. To see a current list of the last updates to all of the MACA datasets see http://gis.maca.gov.nt.ca/website/Atlas_Data_Updates.pdf.

Transportation - 5k-50k (18)

This data represents such features as roads (asphalt, gravel, closed, access), sidewalks, curbs, trails, parking lots, railways, runways and airstrips within each community of the Northwest Territories. The dataset is periodically updated on a community-wide scale. To see a current list of the last updates to all of the MACA datasets see http://gis.maca.gov.nt.ca/website/Atlas_Data_Updates.pdf.

Structure Line (21)

This data represents the outline of structures, excluding buildings, within each community of the Northwest Territories. Features represented include tanks, docks, retaining walls, ramps, bridges, culverts, towers, dishes, pits, quarries, parks, poles, signs, pipelines, fences, etc. The dataset is periodically updated on a community-wide scale and updated with new construction/demolitions as shown on newly-registered plans of survey. To see a current list of the last updates to all of the MACA datasets see http://gis.maca.gov.nt.ca/website/Atlas_Data_Updates.pdf.

Hydrography Line (23)

This data represents lines representing such features as water bodies, intermittent lakes, foreshore flats, lagoons, reservoirs, dugouts, rivers, streams, sand bars, ditches, rapids, waterfalls, dams and marshes within each community of the Northwest Territories. The dataset is periodically updated on a community-wide scale. To see a current list of the last updates to all of the MACA datasets see http://gis.maca.gov.nt.ca/website/Atlas_Data_Updates.pdf.

Spot Elevations (26)

This data represents elevations used to define the topography within each community of the Northwest Territories. Elevations are expressed as metres above sea level (ASL). The dataset is periodically updated on a community-wide scale. To see a current list of the last updates to all of the MACA datasets see http://gis.maca.gov.nt.ca/website/Atlas_Data_Updates.pdf.

Structure Point (28)

This data represents the outline of structures, excluding buildings, within each community of the Northwest Territories. Features represented include tanks, docks, retaining walls, ramps, bridges, culverts, towers, dishes, pits, quarries, parks, poles, signs, pipelines, fences, etc. The dataset is periodically updated on a community-wide scale and updated with new construction/demolitions as shown on newly-registered plans of survey.
