Abstract
A total of 98 planimetric (1:50 000 scale) Mineral Resource Land-Use (MRLU) maps
combine to form a thematic atlas, which covers the province of Nova Scotia
including all near-shore islands and Sable Island. The main purpose in
preparing this Atlas is to provide the public with a single geographic
compilation of mineral resource and related land-use information at a
reasonably detailed scale. A key objective is to create a useful reference
for practitioners working in land-use and environmental planning, geotechnical
firms and groups involved in community economic development.
The MRLU maps display the location and distribution of mineral and energy resources
and related activities as well as aspects of environmental geology that
relate to land-use and environmental planning. Special land-use designations
on Crown and some privately-owned land are shown to indicate how Nova
Scotia's land base varies regarding the ability of mineral resource interests
to access land and hold secure tenure. Please note: because these maps
were compiled from many different data sources with different scales and
projections, some of the overlapping thematic data appears "shifted" relative
to each other.
The first version of this digital product was released in March, 2002. The second
version of this digital product was released in November, 2002.This version
has been updated with
1:10 000 base information and the latest version of the Restricted and
Limited Use Land Database.
