	Description:
		Abstract:
The map was modified in February 2014 to correct sliver polygons found to exist in the 2003 data file. The map was originally scanned from 1 to 500,000 scale topographic map.
The data map has been modified to include  most of the survey anomalies such as Ranges 29A West, 11A East, Townships 1-6 Range 18E and Township 127. The database contains 4 variations of the most commonly used PIDs.

	Purpose:
			To provide the public with a 1 to 1,000,000 base showing all townships and ranges within the Province of Manitoba.
