Abstract

This digital product contains the mineral claim, mining tract and petroleum reservation grids for the Province of Nova Scotia in a UTM NAD83 projection and datum. The NTS 1:50 000 map sheets are each divided into quarters and each of these quarters (labelled A,B,C and D) represent a claim reference map ( DP ME 9 ) upon which claim staking is based in Nova Scotia. Each of these map sheets is then further subdivided for mineral staking into 108 mining tracts with 16 claims on each tract. The map sheet is also divided into 6 grids for use as petroleum reservations. This product contains the polygons that make up each of these grids for Nova Scotia.
