      This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):

      • Entity point (5251)

       

   2. What coordinate system is used to represent geographic features?

       

      Projection parameters:

      Longitude_of_Projection_Center: -63.000000

      Latitude_of_Projection_Center: 47.250000

      Scale_Factor_at_Projection_Origin: 0.999912

      False_Easting: 400000.000000

      False_Northing: 800000.000000

      Planar coordinates are encoded using coordinate pair
      Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 0.000000
      Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 0.000000
      Planar coordinates are specified in meters

       

      The horizontal datum used is D_North_American_1983_CSRS.
      The ellipsoid used is Geodetic Reference System 80.
      The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
      The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257222.

Information is gathered in support of the maintenance activities of the trail network.

How was the data set created?

1. From what previous works were the data drawn?

    

   (source 1 of 1)

   PEI Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal, December 2006, Confederation Trail Inventory.
