1M Base Map plus Hydrologic Unit Code 2 & 4 Watersheds of Alberta - Provincial Base Map Series

1M Base Map plus Hydrologic Unit Code 2 & 4 Watersheds of Alberta - Provincial Base Map Series This cartographic quality series of 1:1 000 000 scale colour maps cover the provincial extent of Alberta. The primary provincial base map displays the Alberta Township System (ATS), major hydrographic features, municipalities, major roads, railways and select geoadministrative features (parks, reserves, etc.). In addition to the primary provincial base map, this series includes various themes that overlay the primary base map. The update of this map series is based on the provincial Base Features Access Update Program that has an approximate 5 year update cycle. Each individual map sheet is provided in Adobe .pdf format. The Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) Watersheds of Alberta represents a collection of five nested hierarchically structured drainage basin feature classes that have been created using the Hydrologic Unit Code system of classification developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) with accommodation to reflect the pre-existing Canadian classification system. The HUC Watersheds of Alberta consist of successively smaller hydrologic units that nest within larger hydrologic units, resulting in a hierarchical grouping of alphanumerically-coded watersheds feature classes. There are currently individual feature classes for HUC 2 (coarsest level), HUC 4, HUC 6, HUC 8 and HUC 10 (finest level). This Georeferenced PDF map features HUC 2 and HUC 4. 2024-10-16 Government of Alberta AEP.GDAMetadata@gov.ab.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and Technology-CANADA1-1-000-000-SCALE-MAPSALBERTAALBERTA-TOWNSHIP-SYSTEMATSBASINCATCHMENTDRAINAGE-AREAGEOSCIENTIFICINFORMATIONHUCHYDROGRAPHYHYDROLOGICHYDROLOGIC-UNIT-CODEIMAGERYBASEMAPSEARTHCOVERINLANDWATERSMUNICIPALITIESNATIONAL-TOPOGRAPHIC-SYSTEMNTSPROVINCIAL-HIGHWAYSRAILWAYSROADSWALL-MAPSWATERSHEDGovernment information 1M Base Map plus Hydrologic Unit Code 2 & 4 Watersheds of Alberta - Provincial Base Map Series - (HTML)HTML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/392415192ac84757b4c23e8d130bc11f/html Original metadata (https://open.alberta.ca/opendata)HTML https://open.alberta.ca/opendata/f3c1c1ed-0104-49b6-babf-9af5bbc9fca1 1M Base Map plus Hydrologic Unit Code 2 & 4 Watersheds of Alberta - Provincial Base Map Series (PDF) (From Alberta Geodiscover Portal metadata)PDF https://extranet.gov.ab.ca/srd/geodiscover/srd_pub/imageryBaseMapsEarthCover/ProvMapSeries/1M/1MHydrologicUnitCodes2_4.pdf 1M Base Map plus Hydrologic Unit Code 2 & 4 Watersheds of Alberta - Provincial Base Map Series - (XML)XML https://geodiscover.alberta.ca/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/392415192ac84757b4c23e8d130bc11f/xml
