Get mapping data related to the Northwest Greater Toronto Area Transmission Corridor Identification Study. In June 2019, the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines along with Ontario’s electricity system planner, the Independent Electricity System Operator, launched the Northwest GTA Transmission Corridor Identification Study to identify an appropriate corridor of land for use by future power lines if and when the need arises.

Data show where pathogens - fungal, bacillial or viral - have caused damage by reducing growth rates, tree vigor or have killed trees. Examples of forest diseases include White Pine Blister Rust, Armillaria Root Rot etc. The Government of Ontario tracks forest damage events to help proactively manage the detrimental effects to our forests. We monitor the threat and spread of invasive forest pest insect species in Ontario. The data is also important to the Forest Management Planning process in calculating timber volume loss within affected areas. This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

Fish Culture Operation MNR identifies the locations of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) fish culture stations (or hatcheries) and sub- stations. The data set outlines their property boundaries. This product requires the use of GIS software.

Designed to represent true ground and bathymetric elevation, this digital elevation model (DEM) covers two sections of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) along the western shoreline of Lake Ontario: * Hamilton in the west to Niagara-on-the-Lake in the east * Scarborough in the west to Port Hope in the east

The Ontario Radar Digital Surface Model (DSM) has the following features: * source data: 1 arc second spaceborne C-Band Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) data * Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Lambert Conformal Conic Projection * vertical datum in both EGM96 and CGVD28, separately * elevation value: floating * local Polynomial Interpolation from vector elevation points * spatial resolution: 30 meter * asurface elevation model This product offers significant advancements in elevation data in the province. [Read the details about these advancements and other technical specifications,](https://geohub.lio.gov.on.ca/maps/mnrf::ontario-radar-digital-surface-model/) including data processing, major spatial characteristics of the Radar DSM, and the steps to generate the Northern Ontario Radar DSM.

This historic dataset delineates valley segments based on a number of different natural features. The data applies to valley segments on the Ontario side of the Great Lakes. Aquatic Landscape Inventory System (ALIS) has also been incorporated into the [Aquatic Ecosystem Classification: Great Lakes Basin and Wetlands Data Class](/dataset/aquatic-ecosystems-in-the-great-lakes-basin) and the Great Lakes Conservation Blueprint for Aquatic Biodiversity datasets. We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis.

Towers -- structures or buildings that are typically higher than their diameter and high relative to their surroundings -- are shown in this data set. They include: * communication towers * fire towers * microwave towers * radio towers * navigation beacons * lighthouses * lightning locators * meteorological towers

Identifies First Nation Reserve boundaries defined by the Legal Surveys Division of Natural Resources Canada.

An abiotic damage event is a non-biological event -- such as wind or an ice storm -- that has damaged areas of forested land. Abiotic damage event information is mainly used to: * generate summary maps for these events at a general or provincial scale * monitor the extent of damage for forest fire prevention purposes * calculate gross timber volume loss estimates caused by these events This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

This data is used for referencing spatial and tabular Forest Resource Processing Facility information. Each facility has one or more processing sites, each dedicated to processing resources for a specific purpose. For example, a pulp, paper and paperboard facility has one processing site to produce pulp, and another one dedicated to producing paper. All facilities that use 1,000 cubic metres or more of forest resources in one year must have a facility licence. This data class has been remodeled in 2014 to make it more flexible as a stand-alone product.
