The Atlas of Canada data provide coverage of all of Canada. The Atlas of Canada Base Maps provides coverage of the entire Canadian landmass. Data elements are feature coded and structurally clean. Base map components are available in five scales and a number of data exchange formats. The 1:2 million and 1:7.5 million scales are the primary bases for all Atlas products. The 1:30 million scale data have been generalized from the two larger scales. The data set covers: drainage - coastlines, rivers, lakes; boundaries - federal, provincial, district, dividing lines; transportation - primary and secondary highways, selected ferry routes, rail networks; populated places; and national parks. Atlas information is two-dimensional layered vector data. Access to information regarding these datasets and the capability to download images and data files, free of charge, is available through <http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/frames.html>.
