This dataset contain all of the 1:20 000 scale index contour information converted from the Provincial Digital Base Mapping Project. These contour arcs are a cartographic product and they do not have any elevation values attributed to the spatial features. These contours require the use of elevation text to properly interpret the elevation value of a specific contour. Index contours are identified every 5th contour line. For Alberta, the index contour intervals occur every 50 metres in relatively flat terrain and every 100 metres in mountainous terrain. Currently, no contour information exists for Banff, Jasper and Wood Buffalo National Parks and also for the Extreme north east portion of the province.

This dataset contains all of the 1:20 000 scale contour information converted from the Provincial Digital Base Mapping Project. These contour arcs are a cartographic product and they do not have any elevation values attributed to the spatial features. These contours require the use of elevation text to properly interpret the elevation value of a specific contour. There are two major types of contours, index contours and intermediate contours. Index contours are identified every 5th contour line. For Alberta, the index contour intervals occur every 50 metres in relatively flat terrain and every 100 metres in mountainous terrain. Intermediate contours are contour lines that occur between the index contours. For Alberta, the intermediate contour intervals are every 10 metres in relatively flat terrain and every 20 metres in mountainous terrain. Where elevation change is sudden, intermediate contours may be deleted and only index contours are shown. Currently, no contour information exists for Banff, Jasper and Wood Buffalo National Parks and also for the extreme north east portion of the province. See the Completeness Report in this metadata record for details regarding coverage.

Includes: * contour land * contour land approximate * contour land auxiliary/interpolated * contour land depression In southern Ontario the contour interval is 5 meters. In the near north the contour interval is 10 meters. In the Far North the contour interval depends on the information source. Data is collected on an irregular basis.

Contour Lines generated from LiDAR data captured by McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd (MCSL). The contour lines connect points of equal elevation for the landscape covered by this project.
