The file is maintained by Spatial Data Warehouse through on-going maintenance of Cadastral mapping files on behalf of Alberta Sustainable Resource Development
In March of 2005, the Government of Alberta created a 'frozen' version of the ATS Coordinates and labeled it V4.1. This version, which is based on three governing points per section, is the current ATS file to be used for geo-referencing digital plan submissions made to the Provincial Government.Feature ClassThe ATS quarter section polygons and road allowance polygons have been created according to the requirements of the Third System of Surveys and the geographic locations defined in the Master Alberta Township System coordinate file.ATS quarter section and road allowance polygons are created and quality assured by Spatial Data Warehouse on behalf of Alberta Sustainable Resource Development to conform to the defining quarter section points (and other required defining points) in the Master Alberta Township System coordinate file as of March 31, 2005.Polygon and source point coordinate data are created in accordance with the requirements of the Third System of Surveys. Provincial coverage has been created and quality assured.Ground locations of the corners of ATS quarter sections and road allowances are regarded as accurate to 3 metres in rural areas of the province and 0.15 metre in urban areas of the province, however, these polygon corners may be subject to storage platform data resolution variances of sub millimetre magnitude from the published MATS coordinates.Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, Government of Alberta20050331Master Alberta Township System coordinate fileEdmonton, AlbertaAlberta Sustainable Resource Development, Government of AlbertaThe Alberta Township System (ATS) Coordinate File is an ASCII data file containing geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude in degrees and decimals thereof) for every governing quarter section corner in the province of Alberta.ASCII data file20050331MATS version 4.1, March 31, 20058 decimal place geographic coordinate locations and identifiers for all governing locations required to create ATS Version 4.1 quarter section and road allowance polygons.VectorSimpleFALSE0TRUEFALSE0.000000010.00000001Decimal degreesNorth American Datum of 1983Geodetic Reference System 806378137.000000298.257222GCS_North_American_19831.000000Explicit elevation coordinate included with horizontal coordinatesAPRS_SECTION_INDEX_ALTA_SASKATS Version 4.1 quarter section and road allowance polygonsBase Features SpecificationsFeature Class0MERMeridian of longitudeThird System of Surveys44th Meridian West LongitudeThird System of Surveys55th Meridian West LongitudeThird System of Surveys66th Meridian West LongitudeThird System of SurveysMERSmallInteger250RGEThe Range value between MeridiansThird System of Surveys0130RGESmallInteger250TWPThe Township value from south to north for the entire provinceThird System of Surveys001126TWPSmallInteger250SECThe Section value within each TownshipThird System of Surveys0136SECSmallInteger250SHAPEFeature geometry.ESRICoordinates defining the features.SHAPEGeometry800STRMSTRMString1000OBJECTIDInternal feature number.ESRISequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.OBJECTIDOID4100SHAPE.STArea()SHAPE.STArea()Double000SHAPE.STLength()SHAPE.STLength()Double000Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, Government of Albertamailing and physical address
