UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) 100 KM Grid

Many geometrical schemes - or map projections - are used to represent the curved surface of the Earth on map sheets. Canada uses the **Universal Transverse Mercator** (UTM) system. It is called transverse because the strips run north-south rather than east-west along the equator.This data class shows a 100 km x 100 km grid coordinate system based on the UTM projection using the North American Datum 83 (NAD83). It includes: * Military Grid Reference * Atlas identifier
