What are the ATS zoom presets?

The presets correspond to Alberta Township System land divisions: Quarter Section (~400 m radius), Half Section (~800 m), Full Section (~1.1 km), and Township (~4.8 km). These match the standard map scales used in environmental reports.

Can I draw a lease boundary?

Yes. The tool includes an integrated drawing tool for outlining lease boundaries. Your boundary is saved locally and will persist when you return to the tool.

What resolution are the exported maps?

Maps are exported at 300 DPI, suitable for professional printing and report inclusion.

Can I use historical imagery?

Yes. If you have Wayback historical imagery active on the map, the Site Location Map will use that imagery in the export.

Professional multi-panel maps for reports

Generate multi-panel maps for inclusion in environmental reports and regulatory submissions. The tool creates PDF maps with zoom levels based on the Alberta Township System, optional lease boundary overlays, and automatic LLD grid rendering. The dual-panel layout shows both a close-up site view and a regional context view.

How It Works

Select a location

Click on the map to place your site marker. The tool automatically detects the Legal Land Description and sets up the map panels.

Choose zoom level

Select an ATS preset (Quarter Section, Section, Township) or use the custom radius slider to set the close-up panel extent.

Draw lease boundary

Optionally draw a lease boundary polygon to outline the site area. The boundary persists across sessions.

Customize styling

Adjust colors for the lease polygon, extent box, and LLD grid lines. Configure line weights and opacity.

Export PDF

Generate a high-resolution PDF with both map panels, title block showing LLD and coordinates, scale bar, and north arrow.
