The vast Canadian
geography north of approximately 50° latitude is depicted on the map
Northern Canada / Nord du Canada. This bilingual map shows the populated
places in the three territories, the northern areas of the provinces, and
adjacent areas of Russia, Alaska, and Greenland. Major roads and railways are
mapped along with a selection of airports and seaplane bases. Major ports are
identified by showing cargo and/or ferry movements throughout the north. The
map also has an economic focus with the addition of energy, mineral and metal
resource extraction sites (mines, natural gas and crude oil fields) and major
pipelines. Important to any understanding of the north is the physical
geography. The map shows the relief, bathymetry, major glaciers, ice fields, a
selection of mountain peaks, tree line, the limits of permanent polar sea ice,
and just over 2900 named hydrographic and physical features. Also shown are
national parks and other federal protected areas. The surveyed locations of the
Magnetic North Pole are mapped from 1831 to 2011. An inset of the Labrador
coast shows the cultural connection of Nunatsiavut to the Inuit of
Nunavut. |
