DNRED has archived images of wall maps that represent pest management treatment plans from 1952-1993. The level of detail of the maps varies greatly over the 40 years of records. Typically, these maps are at a scale of 1:500,000 where 1 centimeter represents 5 kilometers on the ground. The archived treatment plans outline the broad application blocks. Considerable effort was made to digitize these maps in a more accessible format by DNRED and NRCan-CFS. Images were ground referenced and individual treatment polygons were outlined for all years from 1952-1993 so that they could be used in modern geographic information systems. The process of creating a digital map from a hand drawn map is not perfect and slight differences are expected./Le ministère des Ressources naturelles et du Développement de l’énergie (MRNDE) a archivé des cartes murales représentant les plans de traitement antiparasitaire de 1952 à 1993. Le niveau de détail des cartes varie grandement au fil de ces 40 années. En général, ces cartes sont à l’échelle 1

An Agreement Forest Area is a polygon feature that identifies an area of forested private land governed by a Forest Management Agreement. Private companies have agreed, through negotiated agreements with the ministry, to carry out planning and all operational timber management, except protection operations (for example, insect and disease pest control). We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis.
