Order-in Council legal descriptions are interpreted. For most sites, a boundary based on the legal was created in MicroStation using 1:20K mapping files from Informatics Branch, Alberta Environment and Parks. The MicroStation derived boundary was then brought into ARC/INFO and incorporated in the Protected Areas data set. For newer sites, boundaries have been created solely in ARC/INFO or ArcGIS, using Base Features data from Provincial Geospatial Centre. Data are now maintained exclusively in an SDE Geodatabase. Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: In general +/- 5m where a protected area boundary follows ATS or hydrography. Accuracy can decrease to +/- 20m where protected area boundaries follow features which have been updated from IRS imagery. The dates for the data sources used for this resource vary. Please contact AEP.Parks.GIS@gov.ab.ca if you have addition questions about the history of this data set.
