Description:
The Canadian Atlas: Our Nation, Environment and People has large-scale, easy-to-read maps of virtually every part of Canada. It contains a 90-page map section of unparalleled authority, created by Canada’s most experienced cartographic firm. This section comprises an index map, a relief map of Canada, and a collection of 42 clear, accurate map plates that pinpoint virtually every populated place and physical feature in our country. Road and rail networks, airports, ferry services, parks and countless other points of interest are also easily identifiable. Adjacent satellite images of dazzling quality reveal intriguing geographical details.

The Canadian Atlas: Our Nation, Environment and People includes practical city maps and an easy-to-use index: a 16-page section of detailed city maps zeroes in on the downtown cores of Canada’s major centres and its provincial and territorial capitals. A 42-page section lists more than 33,000 populated places and physical features appearing in the map section.
