Get data on land use area policies and boundaries in central and northern Ontario

The Crown land use policy atlas (CLUPA) is an online mapping tool that includes area-specific land use policy for Crown lands in a large part of central and northern Ontario.

CLUPA contains land use policies consolidated from a variety of planning documents, such as:

• district land use guidelines
• local land use area plans
• Ontario's Living Legacy Land Use Strategy
• Guide for Crown Land Use Planning

The Provincial Land Use Atlas (LUA) is a collection of digital land use data displaying administrative boundaries, proposed/approved developments, and layers associated with land use policies/regulations/legislation. The LUA was originally created as a tool to process Crown land applications and an aide in resource planning to identify potential land use conflicts. Included with the LUA is topographic base-mapping, aerial photography, imagery, Crown Land titles/applications, Municipal Plans and land use/land use restriction data.

The Guide to Crown Land Use Planning Atlas (CLUPA) is the authoritative source for information on overlays. The dataset maintains a spatial record for all geographic areas of Ontario affected by the designations that modify area- specific land use policy. To be used as an overlay to CLUPA Provincial data class. Official GEO title: CLUPA Overlay *[CLUPA]: Crown Land Use Planning Atlas

The set of Geological maps of the Crown Lands of Bohemia contains 38 sheets of hand-coloured maps from years 1853-1863. The main coordinator and editor of this mapping project was Wilhelm Haidinger, the first director of the Imperial Geological Institute (GBA) in Vienna. Occasionally, these special maps are also called “Haidinger special maps”. Information available: title of the map sheet, name of the author and link to the CGS map archive.

This layer includes all Crown Land and Properties managed by LINZ which have been identified spatially and can include properties managed by LINZ on behalf of other agencies. The attributes in this dataset are derived from the National Property and Land Information System (NaPALIS), which is a centralised database for all Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) and Department of Conservation (DOC) administered land.

The boundaries of many properties are linked to the applicable Landonline Primary Parcel(s), but in some cases the boundaries may have been drawn in as unsurveyed parcels to varying degrees of accuracy. As such please note that the boundaries are indicative only. The layer excludes any LINZ managed properties which do not have an identified location or extent.

More information on Crown Property can be found under the Crown Property section on the LINZ Website. A subset of Crown Property can be found in the South Island Pastoral Leases layer. A table of Property associations to Primary Parcels is published in the LDS here.

This ownership dataset utilizes a methodology that results in a federal ownership extent that matches the Federal Responsibility Areas (FRA) footprint from CAL FIRE's State Responsibility Areas for Fire Protection (SRA) data. FRA lands are snapped to county parcel data, thus federal ownership areas will also be snapped. Since SRA Fees were first implemented in 2011, CAL FIRE has devoted significant resources to improve the quality of SRA data. This includes comparing SRA data to data from other federal, state, and local agencies, an annual comparison to county assessor roll files, and a formal SRA review process that includes input from CAL FIRE Units. As a result, FRA lands provide a solid basis as the footprint for federal lands in California (except in the southeastern desert area). The methodology for federal lands involves:

This interactive map shows Refuges, Special Conservation Areas, and Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) as well as Managed Hunting Areas and Animal Control Areas, WMA official trails and points of interest, the Near-Urban Centrefire Prohibition Area, and Game Hunting Areas in Manitoba.Refuges: This polygon layer shows the boundaries of all refuges in Manitoba, as designated by the Designation of Wildlife Lands Regulation (171/2001), under The Wildlife Act (C.C.S.M. c. W130). Refuge types include Wildlife Refuge, Game Bird Refuge, Goose Refuge, and Fur Bearing Animal Refuge. The Use of Wildlife Lands Regulation (77/99) determines prohibited activities in each refuge.Special Conservation Areas: This polygon layer shows the boundaries of all Special Conservation Areas (SCA) in Manitoba, as designated by the Designation of Wildlife Lands Regulation (171/2001), under The Wildlife Act (C.C.S.M. c. W130). Special Conservation Areas are designated to conserve and protect particular species and habitats throughout Manitoba. The Use of Wildlife Lands Regulation (77/99) determines prohibited activities in each Special Conservation Area.Wildlife Management Areas: This polygon layer shows the boundaries of all Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) in Manitoba, as designated by the Designation of Wildlife Lands Regulation (171/2001), under The Wildlife Act (C.C.S.M. c. W130). The Manitoba Wildlife Act provides for the designation of Crown lands as Wildlife Management Areas for the "better management, conservation and enhancement of the wildlife resource of the province." Wildlife Management Areas exist for the benefit of wildlife and for people's enjoyment. They play an important role in biodiversity conservation and provide for a variety of wildlife-related forms of recreation. Hunting and trapping are generally permitted in WMAs, but these activities may be prohibited or restricted in a few areas. The use of vehicles, off-road vehicles, watercraft, power boats, or airboats, may be restricted in some areas. Each WMA has its own set of restrictions in place to protect the integrity of the area.Managed Hunting Areas: This polygon layer shows the boundaries of Managed Hunting Areas and Animal Control Areas as designated by the Hunting Areas and Zones Regulation (220/86) and the Designation of Wildlife Lands Regulation (171/2001), under The Wildlife Act (C.C.S.M. c. W130). Managed Hunting Areas provide safer hunting experiences by distributing hunting pressure and ensuring that hunting only takes place on private land with the permission of the owner or lawful occupant, or on designated Crown land areas. The Managed Hunting Areas Regulation (146/2002) determines what activities are permitted, prohibited, and restricted in Managed Hunting Areas. Lands can be designated as Animal Control Areas for the purpose of wildlife management, wildlife research, protection of property or any other purpose deemed to be in the public interest. The Use of Wildlife Lands Regulation (77/99) determines prohibited activities in Animal Control Areas.Wildlife Management Area Official Trails and Points of Interest: This dataset shows official trails and points of interest within Wildlife Management Areas in Manitoba.Near-Urban Centrefire Prohibition Area: The Near-Urban Centrefire Prohibition Area (NUCPA) is a provincially-regulated prohibition of centrefire rifles for white-tailed deer hunting. This prohibition encompasses all or portions of the Rural Municipalities (RMs) of Headingley, Rosser, Rockwood, St. Andrews, West St. Paul, East St. Paul, St. Clements and Richot. Under the General Hunting Regulation (351/87) of The Wildlife Act (c. W130), no person shall have a rifle requiring a centrefire cartridge in his or her possession while hunting deer in lands identified as a Near Urban Wildlife Zone on Plan No. 20350 or 20525 filed in the office of the Director of Surveys.Game Hunting Areas: Game Hunting Areas (GHAs) are defined under the Hunting Areas and Zones Regulation (220/86) of The Wildlife Act (CCSM c. W130). Game Hunting Areas are used to support boundaries for species-specific hunting seasons, harvest allocations, bag limits and associated regulations. Refer to the Hunting Areas and Zones Regulation for GHA boundary descriptions.

These maps are master copies which were created for a cadastre, a public register recording the boundaries, roads, waterways, identifiers and names for a parcel of land. The maps were adapted to chart the changes of subdivisional patterns and land status changes created by the registration of deposited plans. The maps contain contemporary and historical subdivision information.

Other notations may include strata plans, Crown grant boundaries and grant information if the land is Torrens, Old System or Crown land title. Also included are Primary Applications (PA) and Conversion Actions (CA), historical subdivision plans, road plans, acquisitions, resumption dedications and other land status changes recorded in government gazettes. Parish, county, locality and local government authority are also shown.

The maps charted subdivisional, status and boundary changes. These maps use the Central Mapping Authority (CMA) index maps drawn at a range of scales. They do not show land use or ownership changes.

Each map title is prefaced by MC; for Master Copy;, for example, MC/Q0162-06. The numbering runs across quadrants of the original topographic map which provides the first number. Some quadrants are divided again, resulting in a more complex number.

In September 2002 the manual updating of all Land and Property Information paper maps was discontinued. All notations, status and subdivisional changes are made in the Integrated Titling System (ITS) and the Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB). All charting information regarding subdivision and status changes since September 2002 is provided to the public through the Cadastral Records Enquiry (CRE) also known as the Property Location Map.

TA_CROWN_RSRV_NOTATIONS_SVW contains the spatial representation (polygon) of active and applied for Reserves and Notations. Reserves are a particular type of crown land tenure that grants an agency the right to implement a restriction on the use of crown land. Federal and Provincial government agencies and corporations may apply for the establishment of Land Act Reserves over high value sites required for public purposes, including research and education. Depending on the type of reserve (Order in Council, Map Reserve, Land Act Designation (which can be designated use or prohibitive use) and Notation of Interest) the area is withdrawn from disposition under the Land Act. The view was created to provide a simplified presentation of this single tenure type from the disposition information in the Tantalis operational system. The same content could be derived from the TA_CROWN_TENURES_SVW by filtering to this tenure type only

The Government Property Index (GPI) allows the general public to view and search basic information on NSW Government-owned land and view it on a map through the NSW Planning Portal – Spatial Viewer.\r \r The final dataset was derived through the implementation of the following inputs - \r \r - GPR \r \r - Crown Lands (DCDB)\r \r - National Parks \r \r - Land Parcels (DCDB)\r \r - Spatial Services\r \r - PlanningDB\r \r - Property (GURAS)\r \r Furthermore, there are five data fields which are in-scope for the GPI - \r \r 1.\tLot / Section / Plan \r \r 2.\tAddress \r \r 3.\tArea\r \r 4.\tZone \r \r 5.\tLocal Government Area (LGA)\r \r Two special cases are Crown Land data and National Parks data, which were obtained by ‘intersecting’ the land parcels (Lot/Section/Plan) against the Crown Land Polygon and the National Parks (Estate) Polygon respectively.\r \r Through the combined processing of these inputs into the GPI database, the final spatial data was added onto the NSW Planning Portal – Spatial Viewer for consumption by the public.\r

The Phase 1 (Broad Scale) Forest Inventory was initiated in 1949 and completed by 1956. The Phase 1 (Broad Scale) Forest Inventory included all publicly owned forested lands in the province except Indian lands, national parks, and an area known as the Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve. The Phase 1 (Broad Scale) Forest Inventory was used to define lands suitable for agriculture, to determine timber harvest levels and plan forest protection and timber and industrial development. Through aerial photo interpretation, land was classified as productive, potentially productive, or non-productive. On productive forest land, homogeneous groups of trees were classified by 'cover types'. Cover types included crown density, height and tree species. Burned, harvested or cultivated land was identified as potentially productive. Non-productive lands included areas with organic soils, barren rock and lakes. No ages or site classes are associated with the polygons. The minimum polygon size was 65 ha. These maps are not available as geo-referenced rectified images or GIS-ready data.
