Title to each section may be further subdivided either into half-mile square 160-acre "quarters" and 40-acre sixteenths ("legal subdivisions" or LSD's).

The SGC conforms to the basic principles of classification. It consists of a set of discrete units that are mutually exclusive and, in total, cover the entire universe. Usually, a classification appears as a hierarchy, each level of which satisfies the above-mentioned principles and is defined by the uniform application of a single criterion. Appli...
Each of the four levels of the classification covers all of Canada. They are hierarchically related: census subdivisions aggregate to census divisions, census divisions aggregate to a province or a territory which in turn aggregate to a geographical region of Canada. The relationship is illustrated in Figure 1. This structure is implicit in the sev...
At the outset, numerical codes were adopted for ease of use and clarity. The numbers were universally applicable to all of the data processing machines in use at that time. The use of numerical codes continues but the number of digits in the code changed from six to seven in 1976, when a three-digit code was adopted for census subdivisions (CSDs) b...
The following procedure is applied in selecting names for geographic units: 1. Official names are used where they are available. The names of incorporated local and regional municipalities are taken from provincial and territorial gazettes, where official notifications of acts of incorporation for new municipalities and changes to existing municipa...
This Interim List of Changesprovides a summary of the changes to census subdivisions (CSDs) such as municipal boundary or name changes in effect between January 2, 2016, and January 1, 2021. This list presents the changes which have been processed by Statistics Canada based on the information received and, therefore, may not include all the changes...
Lots and Subdivisions. If you have a subdivision of land, surveyors can split ¼ sections into even smaller lots. You can describe a land parcel based on the smallest subdivision. Think about a neighborhood development with individual lots.
A legal subdivision may be divided into four equal parts called quarter legal subdivisions, which are approximately 10 acres in area. The 1st legal subdivision in the diagram has been divided into quarters. The 2nd and 8th legal subdivisions have been divided into halves (two quarters).
Within each grid, the land is further organized into numbered sections (ranging from 1 to 99) and lettered units (from A to P). With Township Canada, you can easily locate FPS-based legal land descriptions using three formats: Grid, for example: 60-20 N 100-30 W. Section Grid, for example: 48 60-20 N 100-30 W.
