Land Information Ontario - Top FAQ
What is land information?
Land information is information that can be related to a position on the earth's surface. Although land information is often displayed in the form of a map, it can also exist as textual information in a database.
Professionals use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to manage and analyze land information.
Examples of land information include:
- Property boundaries and boundaries of cities and towns
- Topographic features (e.g. elevation, contours, streams, etc)
- Information about water, soil, plants, trees, fish and wildlife
- Structures built on the land such as utilities and buildings
- Road and civic addressing data
- Assessment, ownership and Crown parcel mapping information
- Digital imagery
