<abstract>Compiled by Alberta Data Partnerships Ltd. (ADP), on behalf of the Government of Alberta, the ATS v4.1 Polygons - Township Index polygon layer contains polygons that represent the location of Township polygons, derived from the Master Alberta Township System points file published as ATS Version 4.1, dated March 31, 2005, and clipped to an updated Alberta Data Partnerships Ltd. (ADP) created version of the Alberta provincial boundary. No road allowance segments are included in this layer.</abstract>
<purpose>To provide a GIS ready polygonal representation of Township polygons, derived from ATS Version 4.1, dated March 31, 2005.</purpose>

<logic>ATS v4.1 Polygons - Township Index polygons are created and quality assured by Alberta Data Partnerships Ltd.

<complete>Polygon and source point coordinate data are created in accordance with the requirements of the Third System of Surveys. Provincial coverage has been created, attributed, and quality assured by Alberta Data Partnerships Ltd. (ADP), on behalf of Alberta Environment and Parks, Government of Alberta.</complete>
<posacc>
<horizpa>
<horizpar>Measured and/or calculated locations of the corners of ATS quarter sections and road allowances are regarded as accurate to 3 metres of true ground location in rural areas of the province and 0.15 metre in urban areas of the province. However, the polygon corners as derived from these coordinates may be subject to storage platform data resolution variances of sub millimetre magnitude from the published MATS coordinates.</horizpar>
