The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data is organized into 20km x 20km tiles with a spatial resolution of 5m. This data is intended to be used for pre-engineering survey and design as well as the production of planimetric mapping at differing accuracies. This data is intended for GIS and remote...

Data covers natural, rural and urban lands in Ecoregions 6E and 7E, current to 2000-2002. This land use inventory supports key provincial initiatives including: * source water protection * natural spaces * biodiversity conservation * state of resources reporting

This dataset contains miscellaneous point features including: * mine head frames * cadastral iron bar (a type of survey monument) * historical monuments * horizontal control monuments * mile posts * smoke stacks We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and...

Fish Habitat Type Data for Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's Parry Sound District used for fisheries management.

Companies or organizations who take over 50,000 litres of water/day from a lake, river, stream or groundwater source, must obtain a Permit to Take Water from the Ministry of the Environment -with a few exceptions. Permit holders are legally required to record how much water they take each day....

This dataset was created to provide land use information on the Oak Ridges Moraine and is the basis for Ontario Regulation 140/02. The data was digitized at 1:10,000 or better using 0.5 metre air photos, MNR, DMTI, Upper and Lower-tier Official Plans and digital vector layers.

Many geometrical schemes - or map projections - are used to represent the curved surface of the Earth on map sheets. Canada uses the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system. It is called transverse because the strips run north-south rather than east-west along the equator. This data class...

The dataset represents prominent linear (man-made or natural) features including: * cliffs * dykes * fences * walls * hedgerows * feature outlines * racetrack centre lines * racetrack edges We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis.

Bait resources in most of the province are assigned to harvesters through the use of a block system -- 1 harvester per 'bait harvest' area. There are exceptions to the block system (e.g., Lake Erie), where bait is allocated to multiple users fishing the same area.

MNR regions are divided into districts - smaller organizational units - to help manage ministry programs and resources. Extents of the districts were originally compiled by description of: metes and bounds, topographic features, geographic township boundaries, territorial district boundaries,...

This data set shows utility lines that provide services for: * power * water * communications * heating fuel They include: * communication lines/submerged communication lines * hydro lines/submerged hydro lines * natural gas pipelines/submerged natural gas pipelines * water pipelines/submerged...

The flood magnitude statistics can be used for applications such as flood plain delineation and design of hydraulic structures. The drought severity statistics can be used for applications such as water abstraction and effluent dilution.

Get data on forest fires, compiled annually for the National Forestry Database The National Forestry Database includes national forest data and forest management statistics to seve as a credible, accurate and reliable source of information on forest management and its impact on the forest...

A feature is a representation of a real world object, such as a lake, stream, dam or rapid. There are three hydrographic feature classes:  points, lines and polys. All may impede or be hazardous to waterflow and/or navigation on a watercourse or waterbody. This data shows natural and manmade...

This data contains an Index identifying Ontario Base Map map tiles. Eastern and Southern Ontario is covered at a scale of 1:10,000. Northern Ontario is covered at a scale of 1:20,000. We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis. This product...

This data was produced in 1999 by rationalizing a 48-class database into 28 distinct classes. The original database was derived from digital, multispectral Landsat Thematic Mapper data recorded between 1986 and 1997, with most of the satellite data frames recorded in the early 1990s. The...

A Township is a land subdivision in Ontario. This information was captured through the Ontario Base Mapping Program, is maintained by the Ministry of Natural Resources and distributed through Land Information Ontario (LIO) Warehouse. The spatial accuracy for some of the townships was improved...

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry’s Make a Topographic Map is a mapping application that features the best available topographic data and imagery for Ontario. You can: * easily toggle between traditional map backgrounds and high-resolution imagery * choose to overlay the topographic...
