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 east of 112°W; however use of NAD83(CSRS) / UTM zone 12N (CRS code 2956) is encouraged in these rural areas.
