Manitoba Original Survey Legal Descriptions

This feature layer is comprised of point locations that represent the centre of the bounds of the corresponding legal parcel. The types of legal descriptions include quarter sections (D.L.S.), river lots, parish lots, wood lots, outer two mile lots, and settlement lots. The point may not fall exactly on the centre of the legal parcel of land. This feature layer is meant as a search tool to locate the general location of the given legal description and it may not be exact. The points were initially derived from a variety of sources. Most of the points came from the Southern and Northern Grid of DLS section boundaries created by Sustainable Development. Fields included (Alias (Field Name): Field Description) OBJECTID (OBJECTID_1): Sequential unique whole numbers that area automatically generated Informal Legal Description (LEGAL_DESC): The informal legal description (No leading zeros on numbers). Formal Legal Description (LEGAL_DESC0): The formal legal description (Leading zeros on numbers). Type (TYPE): The type of legal division ('Quarter' = Quarter section, 'RL' = River lot, 'Lot' = Township lot, 'OT' = Outer two mile lot, 'PL' = Parish lot, 'SL' = Settlement lot, 'WL' = Wood lot). Quarter (QUARTER): Which DLS quarter section the point is referencing (NE, NW, SE or SW meaning respectfully North-east, North-west, South-east or South-west) Section (SECTION): The DLS section the point is referencing (1-36). Township (TOWNSHIP): The DLS township the point is referencing. Range (RANGE): The DLS range the point is referencing. Lot No. (LOT_NO): The lot number of the corresponding river, settlement, township, outer two mile or parish lot. Meridian (MERIDIAN): The meridian of the section (East 1, East 2 or West 1). Parish Name (PARISH_NAME): The name of the parish that the lot belongs to. Range Addition (RANGEADD): The added text for specific range values (if applicable).本要素图层由若干点位置构成，这些点代表对应法定宗地边界的中心点。法定描述类型涵盖（D.L.S.）四分地段、河滨地块、教区地块、林地地块、外两英里地块及定居点地块。该点未必恰好落在法定宗地的几何中心。本要素图层仅作为检索工具，用于定位给定法定描述的大致位置，并非精确坐标。 这些点最初源自多种数据源，其中大部分来自可持续发展部门（Sustainable Development）构建的DLS地段边界南北网格。 包含的字段（别名(字段名)：字段说明）如下： OBJECTID（OBJECTID_1）：自动生成的连续唯一整数。 非正式法定描述（LEGAL_DESC）：非正式法定描述（数字无前置零）。 正式法定描述（LEGAL_DESC0）：正式法定描述（数字带前置零）。 类型（TYPE）：法定区划类型（'Quarter'代表四分地段，'RL'代表河滨地块，'Lot'代表镇区地块，'OT'代表外两英里地块，'PL'代表教区地块，'SL'代表定居点地块，'WL'代表林地地块）。 象限（QUARTER）：该点所指向的DLS四分地段象限（NE、NW、SE、SW分别对应东北、西北、东南、西南）。 地段编号（SECTION）：该点所指向的DLS地段编号（取值范围1-36）。 镇区（TOWNSHIP）：该点所指向的DLS镇区编号。 区间（RANGE）：该点所指向的DLS区间编号。 地块编号（LOT_NO）：对应河滨、定居点、镇区、外两英里或教区地块的地块编号。 子午线（MERIDIAN）：该地段所属的子午线（东1区、东2区或西1区）。 教区名称（PARISH_NAME）：该地块所属的教区名称。 区间附加信息（RANGEADD）：特定区间值的附加文本（如适用）。
