The purpose of this division is for the administration of justice. The counties were delineated using provincial base mapping features, following the metes and bounds descriptions in the Letters Patent. A polygon dataset that includes all of the administrative areas currently in the __Administrative Boundaries Management System (ABMS)__ is available [here](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc). A complimentary point dataset that defines the administrative areas is also available [here](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc-boundary-locations). The Legal document which divides the province of British Columbia into counties is available [here](http://www.bclaws.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/96075_01). Other individual datasets are available from the following records: https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/province-of-british-columbia-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/municipalities-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/regional-districts-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/electoral-areas-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/islands-trust-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/local-trust-areas-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/sh-sh-lh-nation-legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc Les __comtés de la Colombie-Britannique__ comprennent des zones de terres situées dans la province de la Colombie-Britannique qui représentent des zones administratives légalement définies et décrites dans la County Boundary Act. Cette division a pour objet l'administration de la justice. Les comtés ont été délimités à l'aide des caractéristiques cartographiques de base provinciales, conformément aux descriptions des limites et des limites figurant dans les lettres patentes. Un jeu de données polygonales qui inclut toutes les zones administratives actuellement incluses dans le __Système de gestion des limites administratives (ABMS) __ est disponible [ici] (https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc). Un ensemble de données de points complémentaire qui définit les zones administratives est également disponible [ici] (https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/legally-defined-administrative-areas-of-bc-boundary-locations).
