Minor Name Points (MNNMP) Coordinate system: 4326 - "WGS 84" Abstract: Minor Name Points represent the name of smaller waterbodies such as small lakes, rivers or creeks. These features are associated with water lines or minor water regions. Minor Name Points are engineered from a combination of National Topographic Data Base (NTDB) 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 scale hydrographic mapping data. Note: In 2012, there was a datum change from NAD83 to WGS84.

  Supplemental Information:

  CanMap Water was created using 1:50000 and 1:250000 scale hydrographic data. Arcinfo was used in the beginning as the processing tool but since has been migrated to an SDE environment. Since the initial release, additional 1:50000 scale data has been input into the layers and additional double line rivers have been split from major waterbodies.
