The following data requires a GIS package to view the information. A free viewer for shape files - ArcExplorer - is available for download from ESRI.

Spatial data can be downloaded in ESRI Shape format. These files are compressed in .ZIP format. Shape files are in an Yukon Albers Projection (see below for details).

Please see our disclaimer before downloading and using files.

Base Data

All 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 NTS base data used by the Oil and Gas Resources Branch is copyright to Natural Resource Canada. As such, the Oil and Gas Resources Branch cannot distribute it. Natural Resources Canada have offices all across Canada where the data can be purchased. For more information, see their web site at: http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/inter/.

Natural Resources Canada also has a much coarser (1:2,000,000) data set available free of charge. See their web site at: http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/.
