NAD83 / Alberta 3TM ref merid 120 W

Canada - British Columbia. , accuracy 0.1 m, code 9116 (default) [grid]
Canada - Quebec. , accuracy 1.5 m, code 9241 [grid]
Canada - Saskatchewan. , accuracy 1.5 m, code 9887 [grid]

Selected transformation

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: NAD83-98.gsb

Remarks: Also found with file name NA83SCRS.GSB. Uses NT method which expects longitudes positive west; EPSG GeogCRSs NAD83 (code 4269) and NAD83(CSRS)v2 (code 8237) have longitudes positive east. Can be taken as an approximate CT NAD83 to WGS 84 - see code 1696.

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 west of 118°W; however use of NAD83 / UTM zone 11N (CRS code 26911) encouraged in these rural areas.

Area of use: Canada - Alberta - west of 118°30' W.

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