Settlement

Abstract: The Settlement dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent Settlements in Alberta. A settlement is an area of land that was surveyed prior to the Third System of Survey and does not normally follow the ATS grid.

Process Step:
Process Description: Initial compilation. Settlement was compiled by buffering up 500 meter square polygon around each settlement point location from the 1:250 000 digital reference file, adjusted relative to their nearest roadways of Base Features Access data. Location of settlement, therefore, does not indicate their actual locations as their boundaries are undefined.

Process Step:
Process Description: This layer of boundary is obtained by conversion from the 1:1 000 000 MicroStation file. The NAD83 1:20 000 Provincial Data Base Mapping Program, Settlement MicroStation files are merged into two UTM files, one of 111 and the other 117 degree. The two UTM files are then merged and consolidated into a single 1:1 000 000 UTM provincial file. The single UTM file is processed and reprojected, with applied false easting of 500 000 meters, to obtain the ESRI layer. The layer is cleaned with all polygons closed and built without gaps or slivers. Settlement polygons that lie along the provincial or national park boundary are conformed to the Base Features Geoadministrative Areas (GA) Provincial and National Park layers. Polygon attributes are populated according to the GA Specification table structure.
