Frequently asked questions
What is a legal land description in Canada?
A legal land description (LLD) is the official way to identify a parcel of land in Canada. The most common system is the Dominion Land Survey (DLS), which uses meridian, range, township, section, quarter section, and legal subdivision (LSD) to pinpoint locations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. British Columbia uses the National Topographic System (NTS), and Ontario uses Geographic Townships with concessions and lots.
How do I convert a legal land description to GPS coordinates?
Enter the legal land description (e.g., SE 14-042-04 W4) into Township Canada's search box at app.townshipcanada.com. The tool instantly returns GPS latitude and longitude coordinates, displays the location on a map, and provides turn-by-turn navigation. You can also use the Township Canada API for programmatic conversion.
What does LSD mean in land descriptions?
LSD stands for Legal Subdivision. In the Dominion Land Survey system, each section (1 square mile / 640 acres) is divided into 16 Legal Subdivisions of approximately 40 acres each. LSDs are numbered 1 to 16 and are the most precise unit in the DLS system. For example, LSD 10-14-042-04 W4 identifies a specific 40-acre parcel in Alberta.
Can I convert legal land descriptions for free?
Yes. Township Canada offers 10 free conversions per month on the Lite plan with no credit card required. Enter any LSD, quarter section, NTS reference, or Ontario township description and get GPS coordinates instantly. For unlimited conversions, paid plans start at $10/month.
What provinces does Township Canada support?
Township Canada supports Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba (DLS system), British Columbia (NTS system), Ontario (Geographic Townships), the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and offshore areas (Federal Permit System).
How do I convert multiple land descriptions at once?
Use Township Canada's batch conversion tool. Upload a CSV file or paste your data, and convert thousands of legal land descriptions to GPS coordinates simultaneously. Results can be exported to CSV, KML, Shapefile, GeoJSON, DXF, or PDF. Business plans support batches of 4,000+ records.
