The interactive map browser (map browser) allows users to view the boundaries of Crown land use areas as well as associated land use policies.
Major benefits of the map browser include its functionality and its use of the most current data available. This is possible through the use of two technologies; Web Mapping Services (WMS) and an Internet Mapping Framework (IMF). WMS enables access to mapped data such as that located in Ontario’s Land Information Warehouse which is updated frequently. IMF is used to create the mapping tools and interface that enable the user to work with the data (reposition, zoom) obtained through the WMS.
The data shown on the maps that form part of the Crown Land Use Policy Atlas (the Atlas) are illustrative only. Do not rely on them as being precise indicators of privately-owned land, travel routes, locations of features, nor as guides for navigation. The contents of this site are frequently updated. Please refresh each page to ensure that the most up-to-date information is being viewed.
For step-by-step instructions on using the map browser please see the Map Browser Tutorial.
The map browser is compatible with the following (or more recent versions): Internet Explorer 6, Netscape 6.0, Mozilla 1.7.8, and Opera 8.
Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader must be installed onto your computer for some map browser functions.
Some anti-popup security software may interfere with the intended functioning of this site. It is recommended that this software be turned off while using the Atlas.
This application is maintained by the Policy and Planning Coordination Branch, Natural Heritage and Land Use Planning Section, and was developed in partnership with the Science and Information Resources Division, Geographic Information Branch, Provincial Geomatics Service Centre, and Science and Information Branch, Business Solutions Services.
