QU'APPELLE RIVER VALLEY LAND PLANNING DATA BASE

                  FLYING CREEK PLANNING AREA

                       RURAL MUNICIPALITIES

1. Coverage Specifications

   Original Map Scale: 1:50,000

   Resolution        : .000061035 of a degree

   Map Projection    : None, i.e. latitude/longitude co-ordinates

   Datum             : NAD27

   Spheroid          : Clarke 1866

   Units of Measure  : decimal degrees

2. Level I Latitude/Longitude Digital Data

   The Qu'Appelle River Valley land planning data in
   latitude/longitude co-ordinates are intended for GIS
   users who may wish to perform their own vertical integration
   of the various layers and themes, or for GIS users who may
   want to integrate these data with GIS data of their own.

   Thematic data layers are intentionally extended past
   the shoreline and as such does not contain the proper
   definition of shoreline. The data are not projected and
   co-ordinates, areas and perimeters are in decimal degrees.

   DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DERIVE AREA STATISTICS FROM THESE DATA
   UNTIL THEY ARE INTEGRATED WITH A PROPER SHORELINE AND THE
   RESULTS PROJECTED TO A SUITABLE MAP PROJECTION.

   If the above restrictions do not meet your GIS objectives,
   obtain the equivalent Level II UTM data where all data
   themes have been vertically integrated, and where the results
   have been projected to UTM.
