Hi all, I would agree with Gordon, it looks pretty much like an artifact left over after the NAD27->NAD83 conversion. These artifacts were corrected when the map were digitized but obviously not in this case.
Sam, this does not happen across the country along the NTS border lines. You find edge match problems due to differences in time of aerial photography, aerial photography interpretation, and so on, but not the NAD27->NAD83 conversion. About GeoBase NHN data, it should be the same because, as explained before, they all come from the same source. However, the QC team is already having a look and I will get back to you soon.

Thats most likely correct. This happens across the country along the NTS border lines. You might want to check the GeoBaseNHN data, as it could be better. (since its organized in water basins)[1] Then we can go 1 level deeper, into the Land Information Ontario dataset. A WMS layer is available [2] as well as the source shp files. (I do have direct access to it (via a data warehouse loginID) [1] wms layer for JOSM (found on this page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geobase/NHN_-_OSM_Map_Feature) http://wms.cits.rncan.gc.ca/cgi/wms_en.cgi?map=/export/wms/mapfiles/rhn/geobase_rhn.map&version=1.1.1&service=WMS&request=Getmap&layer=HYDRO_AGGREGAT&format=image/png&STYLE=default&layers=GEOBASE_RHN_NHN&; [2] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Land_Information_Ontario#Data_Access_-_WMS_Layers You'll have to dig... i'm not exactly sure where the river WMS is.. but i do remember seeing it. The Ontario servers are considerably slower than NRCan, so you'll need to be patient :) You might want to try using Merkaartor, as it can handle WMS layers alot better. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Merkaartor Cheers, Sam P.S. great to hear from another Ibycus Topo user :) One of my projects is to make a better version of it, now that more data is available. I don't know if Dale Atkin is planning on doing the same at some point. --- Across Canada Trails - Beyond 2017 - The National Trails Network Victoria, BC Canada Twitter: @Acrosscanada Blog: http://acrosscanadatrails.posterous.com/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans Skype: 'Sam Vekemans' IRC: irc://irc.oftc.net #osm-ca Canadian OSM channel (an open chat room) IRC: irc://irc.oftc.net #CommonMap The Common Map channel (an open chat room) On Sun, Oct 24, 2010 at 2:16 PM, Gordon Dewis <[email protected]> wrote: > Interesting.
