Abstract: This historical map series consists of the Planimetric Series printed monochrome maps named using the National Topographic System (NTS) map sheet identifier within Alberta. The Planimetric Series base maps were initiated in 1949 and derived from aerial photographs taken during the years 1949 to 1952. These maps display: Alberta Township System (ATS) - hydrographic features - provincial highways - roads - pipelines - transmission lines - municipalities. These maps are not available as GIS-ready data. All available maps are provided in Adobe PDF and TIF format. To obtain the TIF format, please contact the distributor. Geo-referenced PNG files are also available for some maps, but some are roughly georeferenced with only a few control points. Please note that the coverage for the province is incomplete and it is not known if further coverage will be added. Some maps were also updated after their initial publication, please refer to the maps for the most current dates.

Abstract:
This historical map series consists of the Planimetric Series printed monochrome maps named using the National
Topographic System (NTS) map sheet identifier within Alberta. The Planimetric Series base maps were
initiated in 1949 and derived from aerial photographs taken during the years 1949 to 1952. These maps
display: Alberta Township System (ATS) - hydrographic features - provincial highways - roads - pipelines -
transmission lines - municipalities. These maps are not available as GIS-ready data. All available maps are
provided in Adobe PDF and TIF format. To obtain the TIF format, please contact the distributor.
Geo-referenced PNG files are also available for some maps, but some are roughly georeferenced with only a
few control points. Please note that the coverage for the province is incomplete and it is not known if
further coverage will be added. Some maps were also updated after their initial publication, please refer to
the maps for the most current dates.
Purpose:
The Historical Planimetric Series Maps were originally created to provide an accurate base to capture forest
cover and oil and gas activities in the province. These standardized map bases were created to support
provincial requirements to capture and document natural resources within the province.
