Calgary city limits

This file contains address information for land parcels within The City of Calgary.

The Alberta Township File identifies land (section, township, range) in a grid format known as Dominion Land Survey (DLS) system. It is a graphic representation of these section boundaries (approximately 1 mile X 1 mile). The file contains Section Boundary, Section Name, Original Road Allowance and Quarter Section attribute information.

The polygons in this file represent the section boundaries determined in 1997 by examination and review of all registered legal plans in The City of Calgary. Each section within the city limits are defined by eight quarter section pins and also boundary cadastral stations. The line work was created in 2006 from data which was formally released to The City in 1997.

A highly accurate elevation dataset of ground surface topography, derived from aerial Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). This 2m resolution version of the bare-Earth LiDAR DEM can be used for a wide range of applications such as 3D spatial analysis (slope calculations, profile creation, volumetric computations), engineering applications (land developments, road design, flood modelling) and 3D terrain visualizations, just to name a few.

DEM of 1m and 20cm resolution are also available on Cityonline.calgary.ca
