How it Works

The National Topographic System (NTS) divides Canada into a grid. Each 1:50,000 sheet is identified by a 6-character ID:

• Block (3 digits): e.g., 072 encodes latitude bands
• Letter (A–P): e.g., O encodes column (west to east)
• Number (2 digits): e.g., 01 encodes sub-division

Example: 072O01 is sheet 072O, sub-square 01.

Color Bands (by latitude)

• ■ Tropical / Southern Canada
• ■ Temperate
• ■ Boreal
• ■ Arctic / Northern

Keyboard Shortcuts

Tips

• Right-click any sheet for quick details and options
• Search supports partial IDs: type 072 to highlight all sheets in block 072
• Place-name search uses OpenStreetMap's Nominatim geocoder
• Sheets are color-coded by their position in the NTS grid
