Description
Abstract
The Urban Municipality layer, as part of the Saskatchewan Administrative Boundary data set, contains the annual copy of the GIS layer taken from Information Services Corporation of Saskatchewans live geospatial database at the end of each calendar year. The data is comprised of geospatial locations and attributional information for all of the Urban Municipalities that reside within the province of Saskatchewan. The layer identifies each Urban Municipality by name, location and type. This data is suitable for use in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Computer Aided Drawing Systems (CAD).
Purpose
The Saskatchewan Administrative Boundary data set is distributed as the annual release of the provincial boundary as well as all provincial/national parks, rural municipalities, urban municipalities and Indian reserves that reside within the province of Saskatchewan. The data set is produced from Information Services Corporations live integrated geospatial database at of the end of each calendar year and is produced in conjunction with the SaskGIS Cadastral and SaskGrid TFM data sets.

Spatial data quality
Horizontal positional accuracy
The positions in this data set are correct to within 5-10 metres in the rural portions of the province and to within 1-2 metres in the urban portions. The relative accuracies are better than 5 metres in the rural areas and 1 metre in the urban areas for points that are near each other. The relative accuracies decrease as the distance between points increases.
Estimated accuracy: varies
How this value was determined:
The accuracy of the coordinate varies with the age of the survey, the quality of the survey and the quality of the control in the area of the survey. There has been no attempt to quantify these contributing factors. The coordinates were calculated using information shown on plans of survey and then fit together and, where the fit between the various plans was within acceptable limits rubber sheeted (adjusted) to fit exactly. Where plans did not fit together properly other sources of information were used including, but not only, historical survey plans, field measurements, and aerial photographs.
