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 shows a 100 km x 100 km grid coordinate system based
on the UTM projection using the North American Datum 83 (NAD83).
It includes:
- Military Grid Reference
- Atlas identifier
