Atlas of Canada edit extracted from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia (using Wikipedia Reflection Script)

The Atlas of Canada is an Internet atlas published by Natural Resources Canada that has information on every city, town, village, and hamlet in Canada. It was originally a print atlas, with its first edition being published in 1906 by geographer James White and a team of twenty cartographers.

It can be used in much the same way as Google Earth or Mapquest. Much of the geospatial data is also freely available for download and non-commercial re-use, from the Atlas of Canada site or from GeoGratis.

In addition, it contains statistical and historical information regarding:

• Bathymetric Areas
• Coastline and Shoreline
• Glaciers
• Land and Freshwater Areas
• Lakes
• Mountains
• National Parks
• Parks and Environment
• Rivers
• Sea Islands
• Waterfalls
• Weather
