Need A Map Viewer? ... In order to view our digital files on your computer, you require mapping software (e. g. ArcView®, MapInfo®, AutoCAD®).
If you do not have this software, ESRI* provides a FREE Map Viewer called ArcExplorer® which you can download over the Internet. ArcExplorer(R) works with our "E00" and "TIFF" files. You need to download both ArcExplorer® and the ArcExplorer® Import Utility (Import71.exe). The import utility is required to convert the ARC/INFO "E00" files into ARC/INFO coverages, which then can be viewed in ArcExplorer®.

The Restricted and Limited Use Land (RLUL) database contains spatial boundaries for land that is protected or limited in use for conservation, ecological, resource management, or heritage purposes. Crown land included may be restricted in use by legislation, orders in council, cabinet decree or other legal means.
The database is intended to provide land use information to the Department of Natural Resources integrated resource management planners in a readily accessible and centralized location. The RLUL can be used to identify sensitive areas that may be affected by resource management, or it can provide information to environmental assessment processes.
The information is a compilation of data from various sources and is organized into a series of themes. Each theme includes attributes that identify the department responsible for the compilation and upkeep of the data. Questions about accuracy, currency, source or licensing and use of the data should be directed to the data administrators.
Disclaimer
The DNR makes no claim as to the accuracy of the data and further stipulates that the user of the data assumes all risks associated with the use of the data.
This data base does not include all protected or restricted use land in Nova Scotia. Information for some private lands has not been included at the request of property owners or the information owners. |
