Status of ALR Mapping At present, two different methods are used to produce ALR maps, depending on the Regional District. Under the ALC's original mapping system, base maps show the location of the ALR boundaries at a map scale of 1:50,000 or larger. Constituent maps (where available) show the ALR boundaries in greater detail, generally at a scale of 1:10,000. These maps are created manually. For two of B.C.'s Regional Districts, this mapping system is still maintained. For the rest of B.C.'s Regional Districts, digital GIS (Geographic Information Systems) data is used to produce the official ALR maps. Maps are at 1:20,000 scale, with no constituent maps. They are referenced to provincial standard TRIM digital data. The Commission is currently converting to digital ALR maps for all Regional Districts. The tables below show the current status of ALR mapping by Regional District.
