Contained within the Atlas of Canada's Reference Map Series, 1961 to 2010, is Sheet 1 of the Geographical Map Series. It shows relief (using 10 classes), and bathymetry (using 11 classes). The class limits are in feet, but metric equivalents of these limits are also given. The base map components...

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...

Contained within the Atlas of Canada's Various Map Series, 1965 to 2006, is map which is intended to give information about canoeing routes in Canada. The side focusing on this theme contains text about canoeing and has maps showing how routes and portage locations are indicated on maps of the...

Contained within the Atlas of Canada's Various Map Series, 1965 to 2006, is a map of heritage areas was produced for Parks Canada and Canadian Heritage. It is at a scale of 1:5 000 000 and uses the Lambert Conformal Conic projection. The land mass of Canada is shown with a yellow colour, with...

Contained within the Atlas of Canada's Reference Map Series, 1961 to 2010, is a photo-enlargement of a 1: 7 500 000 general reference map (MCR 0128) and has identical content. Both maps show national, provincial and territorial boundaries. Data on the map sheet is restricted to populated places...

Contained within the Atlas of Canada's Reference Map Series, 1961 to 2010, is a map showing national, provincial and territorial boundaries. Data on the map sheet is restricted to populated places and drainage features. The very extensive set of populated places shows their population (using 1981...

The map shows the location of 565 lakes and reservoirs with a total lake area larger than 100 square kilometres or 38.6 square miles. A table shows the fifteen largest lakes ranked by their area with their maximum depth. An examination of inland hydrologic subsystems must stress the roles of...

The plate contains four maps showing the mean river freeze-over date, the mean lake freeze-over date, the mean river ice-free date and the mean lake ice free date. The four maps depict, in a general way, the average dates on which freshwater bodies in Canada become completely ice-covered in the...

The plate contains four maps showing the Hardness of Surface Water, Total Dissolved Solids of Surface Waters, Turbidity of Surface Waters and the Chemical Quality of Typical Surface Waters of Canada. These water quality maps were based on data collected from 1970 and 1971 at national river...

The map shows the location of rivers, glaciers and the six physiographic regions of Canada. Rivers serve as the natural drainage channels for surface waters. The network formed by river systems receives water from two main sources: runoff and base flow. Runoff is that part of precipitation which...

The map represents the mean value (in millimetres) of the annual loss of water through the evaporation process from the surfaces of open water bodies, such as ponds and shallow lakes and reservoirs based on the 10-year period 1957 to 1966. The greatest mean annual lake evaporation (more than 900...
