These features include rivers, lakes, administrative boundaries,
populated places, roads and rail lines. All of the Atlas of
Canada base map components are available for immediate free
download in five scales and in a number of data exchange formats.

frameworks used for all Atlas of Canada 6th Edition online
maps. You can download Atlas of Canada data from this Web
