Dissemination Area Reference Maps, by Non-tracted Census Agglomerations


The Dissemination Area Reference Maps, by Non-tracted Census Agglomerations cover smaller census agglomerations that are not part of the Census Tract Program. Each map in the series covers one census agglomeration and displays the boundaries and codes of dissemination areas, designated places and their names, urban core, urban fringe and rural fringe, within that census agglomeration. There are 271 maps in this series and inset maps were created to show detail for the more concentrated areas.

The maps also display census subdivision boundaries with street network and other visible features such as railroads, rivers and lakes. The maps vary in scale and size, the maximum dimensions being 86 cm by 61 cm (34 inches by 24 inches).

Dissemination area reference maps are also available by census tracts for census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations (92-147-XIB) and by census subdivisions for areas outside census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations (92-145-UIB). Together, the three sets of dissemination area maps cover all of Canada.

A reference guide is available (92-145-GWE).

Reference maps are available free on the Internet (www.statcan.ca), or they can be purchased through the enquiries line in electronic format (PDF on CD-ROM) or paper format, please contact us.
