National Atlas of Canada
The Fifth Edition of the National Atlas of Canada consisted of 93 separate, stand-alone maps that
were published between 1978 and 1995. The maps covered a wide range of subjects, but there
was a slight emphasis on environmental issues. Although the map sheets varied considerably in
their overall size, the format of nearly all the maps consisted of a central map at scale 1: 7 500
000, accompanied by a legend, a source list and extensive notes.
Some of the maps are available online at
http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/maps/archives/5thedition
5th ed. Various dates. Scale 1: 7,500,000 unless stated. Only those maps held by
the University of Waikato Library are listed here.
