EPSG:3772

NAD27 / Alberta 3TM ref merid 114 W

Selected transformation

Method: NTv1

Grid Files: NTv1_0.gsb

Remarks: Uses NTv1 method. Replaced in Quebec by code 1462 and elsewhere in 1997 by NTv2 (transformation code 1313). Input expects longitudes to be positive west; EPSG GeogCRS NAD27 (code 4267) and NAD83 (code 4269) have longitudes positive east.

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: NAD27

Datum: North American Datum 1927

Ellipsoid: Clarke 1866

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: Alberta SRD Lands Branch, Geodetic Fact Sheets 2, 6 and 10. http://www.srd.gov.ab.ca/lands

Revision date: 2008-06-23

Scope: Cadastre, survey control and engineering survey in urban areas, typically in all municipalities that previously comprised the 73 Municipal Integrated Surveying and Mapping (MISAM) areas, also known as urban cadastral map areas. For rural areas use UTM.

Remarks: If used for rural area control markers, area of use is amended to between 116°W and 112°W; however use of NAD27 / UTM zones 11N and 12N (CRS codes 26711 and 26712) is encouraged in these rural areas.

Area of use: Canada - Alberta - between 115°30'W and 112°30'W.

Coordinate system: Cartesian 2D CS. Axes: easting, northing (E,N). Orientations: east, north. UoM: m.
