Canada (1997)

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. 2022-03-14 Natural Resources Canada geoinfo@nrcan.gc.ca Government and PoliticsSociety and Cultureboundarieslakesoceansriversurban communities Download English JPG through HTTPJPG https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/atlas/eng/reference/canada/mcr_0100.jpg Download English PDF through HTTPPDF https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/atlas/eng/reference/canada/mcr_0100.pdf Download French JPG through HTTPJPG https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/atlas/fra/reference/canada/mcr_0100.jpg Download French PDF through HTTPPDF https://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rncan/raster/atlas/fra/reference/canada/mcr_0100.pdf
