Other information:

Data for NTS map sheets 106D (northern half) and the southern half of 106E appearing in Open File 419 were republished in Open File 518 (released in 1978) and, with reanalysis data, Open File 2175 (released in 1990). Data for 1:50,000 NTS map sheets 106E/10, 106E/11, 106E/14 and 106E/15 appear only in Open File 419.

Data for NTS 1:50,000 map sheet 116H/15 are also included in Open File 420.
