Abstract:
According to Hipolito Contreras of the Belize Land Information Centre (personal communication 2005), the 100m-interval contours of Belize coverage is one of a few base layers developed by the U.K. Directorate of Overseas Surveys (DOS), based on the 1:50,000 OS topographic sheets and deposited directly at the Land Information Centre (LIC) at its inception in 1992. The version presented here - re-projected from Geographic Coordinate System into the original UTM-NAD27 (zone 16) projection - was made public through release of this dataset to the CCAD - the Central American Commission on Environment & Development.
