Take a quick look at the readme file accompanying this *.shp file:
COVERAGE INFORMATION
Projection: 10TM (10 degree Transverse Mercator)
Datum: NAD83
Units: meters
Scale Factor: 0.9992
Longitude of Central Meridian: -115 degrees
Latitude of Origin: 0 degrees
False Easting: 500 000 m
False Northing: 0 m
You need to make sure that you choose the correct projection that this
shape file was created with originally, and then apply that projection when
translating with the UT going from Shp to TAB or MIF\MID format. You can
add the section below to your mapinfow.prj file using a text editor then
select this projection entry to use it for translation.
"--- 10 Degree Transverse Mercator (NAD 83 Canada) ---"
"Canada 10 TM projection (NAD83)", 8, 74, 7, -115, 0, 0.9992, 500000, 0
I tried this one here and it lines up well.

Subject: MI Problem converting .shp file
Hello all,
I'm having problems importing the map on this site into

I can open it( post UT translation), but there's now objects
created or visible. The data Browser however works...any suggestions?
