Forest Cover Maps
Forest cover
maps follow the British Columbia Geographical System (BCGS) of mapping.
The cartographic framework for this mapping is the Universal Transverse
Mercator (UTM) coordinate system. This system is based on the North
American Datum 1927 (NAD27) or the North American Datum 1983 (NAD83).
Each mapsheet is precisely 12 minutes of latitude wide by 6 minutes
of longitude high. The NAD conversion project that was underway
for the last couple of years, is now complete.
