Map Sources
The Atlas maps are composed of several layers of which there are two broad categories: thematic and base layers. Find below a description of each of the map layers. The layer source is included in the metadata.
Thematic Map Layers
- Breast Cancer Rates, 1986-1995 (per 100 000 population)
- The incidence of breast cancer by census division was calculated per 100 000 population over the 1986 to 1995 period. The census division data are only represented within the settled area. The settled area represents more than 98% of the Canadian population captured in the 1991 Census of Canada.
Base Map Layers
- Atlas of Canada Framework Layers
- Base map components are features that provide a geographic context for the thematic data shown on Atlas of Canada maps. These features include rivers, lakes, administrative boundaries, populated places, roads and rail lines. All of the Atlas of Canada base map components are available for immediate free download in five scales and in a number of data exchange formats. The 1:7 500 000 and the 1:1 000 000 scale data are the primary base frameworks used for all Atlas of Canada 6th Edition online maps. You can download Atlas of Canada data from this Web page on GeoGratis.
