Peel Contours

Contours are line features that represent changes in elevation. These Peel-wide contours indicate the change in elevation at 1 metre intervals and are updated yearly. Due to the very large dataset size, downloads may take time to start. Contour lines covering Peel Region and a 1 kilometre buffer outside of the Region's boundary.

Contour information is a valuable tool for both map display (cartographic) and scientific and resource management applications. Some applications may include hydrologic modelling, resource monitoring and landscape visualization, and change measurement.

Specifications
  • Capture year: Spring 2021
  • Horizontal projection (original dataset): NAD 1983 UTM Zone 17N (EPSG: 26917). Note: ArcGIS Online provides download files in the Web Mercator projection.
  • Vertical projection: CGVD 1928 (EPSG: 5713)
  • Horizontal accuracy: ±50 centimetres
  • Vertical accuracy: ±50 centimetres
  • Method of creation: photogrammetric
Other notes

This is a large dataset in both file size and number of features. Please be patient with downloading and filtering the data.

The contour dataset is updated yearly and is released to Open Data approximately one year after orthoimagery photo flights take place. The data is created and updated through photogrammetry by the vendor based on the latest imagery capture.
