Atlas of Canada, Northern Geodatabase (GDB)

The Northern Canada geodatabase contains a selection of the data from the Atlas of Canada Reference Map - Northern Canada / Nord du Canada (MCR 36). The geodatabase is comprised of two feature data sets (annotation and geometry), and the shaded relief. The annotation feature dataset comprises the annotation feature classes. All annotation feature classes were derived for MCR 36 and all text placements are based on the font type and size used for the reference map. The geometry feature dataset is comprised of data for: boundaries, roads, railways, airports, seaplane bases, ports, populated places, rivers, lakes, mines, oil/natural gas fields, hydroelectric generating stations, federal protected areas, ice shelves, permanent polar sea ice limit and the treeline. The geodatabase can be downloaded as feature data sets or as shapefiles.
