Census Agricultural Regions Boundary File for the 2001 Census of Agriculture
Abstract
This Cartographic Boundary File for Canada contains the boundaries of all 82
census agricultural regions delineated for the 2001 Census of Agriculture together
with the shoreline around Canada and the larger inland lakes, all integrated
in a single layer. The boundary file coordinates are latitude/longitude and
are based on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The file is available
in both ARC/INFO Interchange and MapInfo Interchange formats and a reference
guide is also provided.
Cartographic Boundary Files can be used with Census of Population, Census of
Agriculture or other Statistics Canada data for data analysis and thematic mapping
(with appropriate software). Geographic codes provide the linkage between the
statistical data and the geographic area boundaries. Cartographic Boundary Files
can also be used to create new geographic areas by aggregating standard geographic
areas, and for other data manipulations available with the user's software.
The Cartographic Boundary Files are positionally consistent with the Road Network
Files and Skeletal Road Network Files, which can provide additional geographic
context for mapping applications.

links to software that allows users to view and map the data.
