Available transformations
to EPSG:4269
EPSG:4269 - NAD83

Selected transformation

Name: NAD27 to NAD83 (5)

Method: NTv1

Grid Files: GS2783v1.QUE

Remarks: Densification for Quebec of code 1312. Replaced by NAD27 to NAD83 (6) (code 1573). Uses NT method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs 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 118°W and 116°W; however use of NAD27 / UTM zone 11N (CRS code 26711) is encouraged in these rural areas.

Area of use: Canada - Alberta - between 118°30'W and 115°30' W.

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