Canada (1997)

Contained within the Atlas of Canada's Reference Map Series, 1961 to 2010, is a map of Canada. The map was the first to use the Vertical Near-Side Perspective Projection (which enables the map to be of a larger scale than would otherwise have been possible). The map shows provincial and territorial boundaries, including the provisional boundary of the Nunavut (which came into existence in 1999). Also shown is Canada's 200 mile offshore limit. Populated places are classified in six size categories. Roads are grouped into three categories. Railways and ferry routes are also shown. The map shows all of the national parks and World Heritage sites created in Canada. The map contains a distance table for 29 places. It also has four urban-area inset maps which give extensive detail on the four largest metropolitan areas. These maps are Montreal, and Ottawa--Hull, both at 1:700 000; and Toronto, and Vancouver, both at 1:1 000 000. Data is mainly as of 1997, but populated places are shown using 1991 Census data.

Relief Map of Canada

Contained within the Atlas of Canada's Reference Map Series, 1961 to 2010, is a map showing Canada with a very-detailed digital shaded relief. Ocean contours are shown using bathymetric tints. Major physical features including mountain ranges, peaks, and spot elevations are identified. The map also shows the extent and name for all of Canada's national parks. An extensive set of populated places is shown, using six population size classes. Transportation data is extensive, but relatively muted: for example, roads are only in two classes. All official Canadian, provincial, and surrounding international boundaries are shown, including the proposed boundary for the new territory of Nunavut (which came into existence in 1999), The offshore boundary delineating Canada's exclusive 200-mile fishing and economic zone is also shown. There are three small maps of Canada shown on this map sheet, all at scale 1: 35 000 000. One shows the major physiographic regions; the second shows major drainage basins, and the third map shows classes of vegetation cover. There is very limited data shown for foreign areas, but shaded relief is shown for all of these areas. All data on the map is current to the mid to late 1990's.

Lakes, Rivers and Glaciers

Contained within the Atlas of Canada's Reference Map Series, 1961 to 2010, is an enlargement of a 1: 15 000 000 sheet of the same name from the National Atlas of Canada, 4th Edition. Both maps show a very dense network of lakes, rivers and glaciers, with all of the data being photo-reduced from much larger-scale topogaphic maps. Provincial and territorial boundaries are shown, but otherwise there are no other names or symbols shown on the Canadian land surface. The data is as of 1968 (and, therefore, predates the building of many large reservoirs).

Also shown is Canada's 200 mile offshore limit. Populated places are classified in six size categories. Roads are grouped into three categories (expressways, major roads and other roads). Railways and ferry routes are also shown. The map shows all of Canada's national parks, and all of Canada's World Heritage sites. Bathymetric contours are used for all saltwater areas. Because this map does not have urban insets, a much larger coverage area is given for the United States. Data is mainly as of 2000-2004, with the 2001 Census being used as the data source for populated places.

Base data is limited to a small selection to populated places and major roads. The right hand panel of the map gives pictures and descriptions for each of the 31 land cover classes. The imagery data are from 1995.

Canada (2007)

Contained within the Atlas of Canada's Reference Map Series, 1961 to 2010, is a bilingual map of Canada.

The provinces and territories are emphasized with colour and all provincial, territorial and international boundaries are shown including the Northern sector and Canada's 200-mile offshore Exclusive Economic Zone. The map's projection, a vertical near-side perspective, provides an interesting three-dimensional view of Canada and effectively shows Canada's geographic relationship with other nations of the Northern Hemisphere. A digital relief shading is used to show the physiography of the country. The map depicts the location and name of each of Canada's National Parks and a large selection of populated places, roads and railways.
