Clutter Data Contents
Features:
The DMTI Spatial clutter data is based on the National Topographic Database (NTDB) 1:50,000 scale
digital mapping (Standards and Specifications V3.0 and later). There are 10 available Land Use
Classifications:
1. Fresh Water
o Consisting of waterbody and watercourse features from the NTDB (DMTI
Spatial “Hydrography” (HY) layer). DMTI Spatial has approximated a
transition boundary between fresh water and ocean.
2. Ocean
o Consisting of waterbody features from the NTDB (DMTI Spatial
“Hydrography” (HY) layer). DMTI Spatial has approximated a transition
boundary between fresh water and ocean.
3. Coniferous Forest
o Consisting of forested areas extracted from the NTDB. Although the NTDB
coverage consists mainly of coniferous forest, DMTI Spatial has
approximated a transition boundary between deciduous and coniferous
forests. This differentiated average has excluded the portions of Southern
Ontario and Southern Quebec from the coniferous class (DMTI Spatial
“Vegetation” (VE) layer).
4. Deciduous Forest
o Consisting of forested areas extracted from the NTDB. Although the NTDB
coverage consists of coniferous forest, DMTI Spatial has approximated a
transition boundary between deciduous and coniferous forests.
This
differentiated average has limited the deciduous forest class to Southern
Ontario and Southern Quebec (DMTI Spatial “Vegetation” (VE) layer).
5. Open Land
o Areas where the NTDB contains no mapped features.
6. Airports
o An enhanced feature of the Clutter product consisting solely of runway
features from the NTDB (DMTI Spatial “Buildings and Structures” (BS) layer).
7. Industrial
o An enhanced feature of the Clutter product consisting of gas and oil facilities,
tanks, transformer stations, and other buildings from the NTDB (including:
electric power stations, kilns (tobacco), industrial buildings, and gas and oil
facilities buildings) (DMTI Spatial “Buildings and Structures” (BS); “IndustrialResource” (IR); “Pipes and Transmission Lines” (PT) layers).
8. Urban
o Consisting of built-up area features from the NTDB (DMTI Spatial “Built-Up
Areas” (BA) layer).
9. Dense Urban
o An enhanced feature consisting of stadiums and certain buildings from the
NTDB (including: arenas, armouries, city halls, community centres,

courthouses, domes, fire stations, halls, hospitals, medical centres, municipal
halls, museums, parliament buildings, police stations, sanatoriums, senior
citizens homes, shopping centres, sportsplexes, penal buildings, religious
buildings, and educational buildings) (DMTI Spatial “Buildings and
Structures” (BS) layer).
10. Wetland
o Consisting of wetland features from the NTDB (DMTI Spatial “Wetlands”
(WE) layer”.
(Note: All classifications may not necessarily be present for a given geographic area, due to the
variations in the physical land characteristics across the country.)
