The MASCOT Website provides access to the final product on the database. This subscription allows the user to access the MASCOT database and download data up to the subscription limit. If you do not want a subscription to the MASCOT service, then the user can still "pay-per-download" by accessing the MASCOT website and applying for a standard account. See the How to Buy section below for more information.

The MASCOT system consists of a network of over 50,000 survey control monuments situated in the valleys and mountains throughout British Columbia. This network of monuments was established from mapping and control surveys conducted over the last century. During the 1960's, through a partnership between the provincial government and local governments, the physical control system was extended to developing areas. MASCOT is a database of the provincial control survey's physical system and provides published coordinates and elevations and related data for public access and use.
