Abstract

Relief is depicted with twelve hypsometric tints (a graduation of different colours representing elevation). Eight colours are used to indicate the ocean floor levels or bathymetry.

Other features on the map include:

• all federal, provincial and territorial boundaries and capitals for Canada
• selection of populated places
• hydrography
• lakes
• offshore features( include Canada's offshore boundaries and Canada's Exclusive 200 mile Economic Zone (EEZ), which is also known as the 200 mile fishing limit)

The representation of political features on this map does not necessarily reflect the position of the Government of Canada on international issues of recognition, sovereignty or jurisdiction.

A wall-sized paper map of Canada showing relief is available in "Wall Maps". The catalogue number for this map is MCR 0101.
