About this app

Township Canada is the essential mapping tool for professionals working with legal land descriptions across Western Canada.

Whether you're a surveyor locating quarter sections in Alberta, a landman tracking mineral rights in Saskatchewan, an agricultural consultant planning field operations in Manitoba, or a forestry professional navigating crown land in British Columbia, Township Canada puts accurate legal land information at your fingertips.

KEY FEATURES

Search by Legal Description, Coordinates, or Place Name
Instantly locate any parcel using DLS (Dominion Land Survey) notation like "NE-14-24-4-W5M", an NTS (National Topographic System) reference, a UWI, GPS coordinates, or a place name.

Energy & Agriculture Data Layers, All Four Provinces
Overlay wells, pipelines, facilities, oil & gas fields & pools, and soil survey data across Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Manitoba. Well markers reflect licence status right on the map: solid for active, faded for suspended, hollow rings for abandoned, and amber for orphan wells. Add petroleum and mineral tenure, oil & gas activity, and crop and soil layers to see exactly what's on (and under) each parcel. Energy and Agriculture layers are available as add-ons.

Comprehensive Grid Overlays
View precise township, range, section, quarter-section, and legal subdivision boundaries. British Columbia users also get NTS series, block, unit, and quarter-unit overlays. All grids are vector-based for crisp rendering at any zoom level.

Parcel Reports
Open a detailed report for any parcel, with Energy and Agriculture sections covering wells, pipelines, production, tenure, soil capability, and crop history.

Turn-by-Turn Navigation
Get directions to any land parcel with integrated navigation. Perfect for field work when you need to reach remote locations quickly and safely.

Save Favorite Locations
Bookmark frequently accessed parcels for instant recall. Ideal for ongoing projects or repeat site visits.

Professional Map Views
Switch between Street view for context and Satellite view for terrain analysis. Both styles support full DLS/NTS grid overlays and data layers.

Dark Mode Support
Reduce eye strain during night driving or long field days with automatic dark theme support.

Offline-Ready Grid Data
Province grid configurations are bundled with the app, so you can view grid overlays even when connectivity is limited.
