Townships in relation with meridians, baselines and correction lines. Below is a brief description of how to lay out the DLS grid for Alberta. [3] [4]Lay off 6-mile-3-chain (9.7 km) ticks from the 49th parallel of latitude to the 60th parallel.
In western Canada (especially rural areas in most municipal districts in Alberta), a range road (abbreviated "Rge. Rd." or "RR") is a road running on a north–south parallel to a range line (a line denoting the east and west boundaries of a 6-mile (9.7 km) × 6-mile legal township in the Dominion Land Survey and Alberta Township land surveying systems).
Township 51's first township road would therefore be numbered 510, its second township road (2 miles north) is numbered 512, etc. Range roads are numbered from the east boundary of the range, and increase as one moves west in a similar fashion. Range 21's first range road would therefore be numbered 210, its second numbered 211, etc.
Range numbers recommence with Range 1 at each meridian and increase to the west (also east of First Meridian and Coast Meridian). On maps, township numbers are marked in Arabic numerals, but range numbers are often marked in Roman numerals; however, in other contexts Arabic numerals are used for both. Individual townships are designated such as ...
Alberta Provincial Highway No. 779 is a highway in the province of Alberta, Canada. It runs south-north from Highway 627 (Garden Valley Road) in Parkland County through the Town of Stony Plain to Highway 37 west of Calahoo in Sturgeon County .
Township lines run parallel to the baseline (east-west), while range lines run north–south; each are established at 6-mile intervals. Lastly, townships are subdivided into 36 sections of approximately 1 square mile (640 acres; 2.6 km 2 ) and sections into four quarter-sections of 0.25 square miles (160 acres; 0.65 km 2 ) each.
The registered alignment begins in west Whitecourt, just north of a Canadian National (CN) rail line, and ends southeast of Whitecourt, just west of Highway 43's current at-grade intersection with East Mountain Road (Range Road 115B)/Deer Foot Road (Township Road 592B). [22]
Five of Alberta's improvement districts are within national parks while two are within provincial parks.
