Federal 2-D Densification Network

Description

Geodetic Survey Division (GSD) provides a horizontal 2-D (NAD83) network of interconnected control surveys with (approximately 13000) monuments spaced 20 to a maximum of 100 km apart for the Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. These networks are comprised of physically marked survey stations across Northern Canada for which horizontal coordinates are determined. These networks have been established over the past 90 years to provide consistent and accurate basic frameworks within which project-specific surveys may be carried out.
