A survey in progress represents the extent of a proposed or on-going survey project. The project envelope extent is derived from existing data or is created through red-lining approximate boundaries of a project. Project envelopes have an unknown accuracy. Project envelopes are deleted and replaced by a plan envelope when the survey project is completed.
The provisional lines consist of the lines required to represent proposed real properties, limited right areas, public right areas and sub-surface areas. The provisional lines are compiled from pending survey projects.

The Placer Claim Base Lines consist of the lines required to create a base line from which the position of Placer Claims can be established. Placer Claim Base Lines are only used in the Yukon.
