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.
The DLS is the world's largest survey grid laid down in a single integrated system. The first formal survey done in western Canada was by Peter Fidler in 1813. [2] The inspiration for the Dominion Land Survey System was the plan for Manitoba (and later Saskatchewan and Alberta) to be agricultural economies.
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.
The most noticeable artifact of this system is visible on maps and satellite images in that the general street grids of Green Bay, Allouez, Ashwaubenon and De Pere are all aligned to the Fox River, being rotated about 25° from north, in contrast to the standard east-west grid of the surrounding townships in Brown County.

The project is expected to move the equivalent of 10 per cent of Alberta's annual industrial emissions to storage sites every year. TC Energy, Pembina Pipeline team up for 'Alberta Carbon Grid ...
A settlement in Alberta is a subdivided area of land that was surveyed prior to the establishment of the Third System of Survey under the Dominion Land Survey. [1] Settlements do not necessarily fit within the Alberta Township Survey grid system. [1]
