Hi Mike,



I think what you're looking for is the Canadian National Topographic System (NTS) grid, which sections Canada according to those alpha-numeric designations.

    I have a question about Canada topographic map

    designations.  Oak Lake (1:164.042 scale) in CN has

    a designation of 52 K/5 or 52K05.  I want to know what

    that designation is called.  I think it is not the

    Military Grid Reference System (MGRS), but military

    people use that designation whatever it is called.
