The Northern Cartographic Production activity consists of producing a digital image of a topographic map at the 1:50 000 scale. The production priority will be the areas that were never mapped at that scale. The basic data, acquired during the activity of Topographic Data Acquisition in Northern Canada, must go through the activities of Change Detection, Topolan7 (if required) and Digital compilation of Geographical Names. This last activity provides the input data to the Northern Cartographic Product. This data is then completed and edited, and a surround is created in order to obtain a cartographic product that meets the standards and specifications of the National System (NTS).

The output generated is a graphic file that can be used for plot on demand purposes.
