NAD27 / US National Atlas Equal Area

Canada - Quebec. , accuracy 1.5 m, code 9239 (default) [grid]
Canada - Saskatchewan. , accuracy 1.5 m, code 9886 [grid]
Canada - New Brunswick. , accuracy 0.8 m, code 9238 [grid]
Canada - British Columbia. , accuracy 1.5 m, code 9112 [grid]

Selected transformation

Method: NTv2

Grid Files: NB2783v2.gsb

Remarks: Introduced in 2011. Precision of 20 cm in area covered by the input data set and 40 cm anywhere else, with the exception of the northwest area of the province (near the border with Quebec) where the precision deteriorates to 80 cm.

Information source: "Generation of a NAD27-NAD83(CSRS) NTv2-type Grid Shift File for New Brunswick", Marcelo C. Santos and Carlos A. Garcia, Department of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering, University of New Brunswick, October, 2011 via Service New Brunswick.

Revision date: 2023-01-17

Attributes

Unit: metre

Geodetic CRS: NAD27

Datum: North American Datum 1927

Ellipsoid: Clarke 1866

Prime meridian: Greenwich

Data source: EPSG

Information source: United States Geological Survey, Western Geographic Science Center

Revision date: 2020-03-26

Scope: Statistical analysis.

Remarks: Uses spherical projection formulas. USGS documentation describes sphere as derived from GRS80/WGS 84 ellipsoid but that actually used is Clarke 1866. For 1:1million and smaller scale maps there is no significant difference.

Area of use: United States (USA) - onshore and offshore.

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