1M Base Map plus Parks and Protected Areas - Provincial Base Map Series

This cartographic quality series of 1:1 000 000 scale colour maps cover the provincial extent of Alberta.

In addition to the primary provincial base map, this series includes various themes that overlay the primary base map. The update of this map series is based on the provincial Base Features Access Update Program that has an approximate 5 year update cycle. Each individual map sheet is provided in Adobe .pdf format.
