Description:
Abstract:
This dataset was derived from Vector Map (VMap) Level 0 populated places data. VMap Level 0 is an updated and improved version of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency's (NIMA) Digital Chart of the World (DCW). The VMap Level 0 database provides worldwide coverage of vector-based geospatial data. It consists of geographic, attribute, and textual data stored on four CD-ROM's containing more than 1,800 megabytes of vector data organized into 10 thematic layers. The primary source for the database is the 1:1,000,000 scale Operational Navigation Chart (ONC) series co-produced by the military mapping authorities of Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, and the United States. VMap Level 0 includes major road and rail networks, hydrologic drainage systems, utility networks (cross-country pipelines and communication lines), major airports, elevation contours, coastlines, international boundaries and populated places. VMap Level 0 includes an index of geographic names to aid in locating areas of interest.
Purpose:
This dataset was devived from VMap Level 0 datasets (formerly Digital Chart of the World), modified and updated for use in the Atlas of Canada's Large Intact Forest Landscapes.

Process_Description:
Populated place name attributes in the original VMAP Level(0) data were reviewed and updated, using the Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB) 1997 (Natural Resources Canada) as a reference. Updates included place name changes and correction of French place names and the addition of some populated points. This dataset is to be used in conjunction with the other populated places datasets used for this report, as this dataset includes only populated places not included in the other datasets.
