This vector data resource was provided to the Geospatial Centre by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs. County boundaries and county names are available for the entire province of Ontario, whereas township boundaries and names are for the southern portion or the province. These boundaries are current as of 1996.
These data sets are available in Lambert Conformal Conic coordinates (custom projection), NAD27. These data are stored as Esri shapefiles. Other data formats can be accommodated, as the Geospatial Centre has access to a number of conversion utilities.
In order to access these data sets, please visit the Geospatial Centre Reference Desk during reference hours. Library reference staff are available to provide further information about these data sets. Under the terms of the Library's license agreement, these data sets are for use by students, faculty, and staff at the University of Waterloo only.
There are public workstations in the Geospatial Centre that provide access to GIS software, program extensions and data manipulation utilities. Patrons may use the GIS software in the library to view and manipulate the data. UW faculty, students and staff may copy these data to other media (Zip disk or CD-R) for use elsewhere.
These data may be exported from the GIS software as a bitmapped image (e.g., jpg) or may be printed as a map view using one of the library's colour printers.
This material is provided for academic, research, teaching, and personal use only. The Ontario Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Rural Affairs should be acknowledged on any derivative product, such as a map or an image.
