National Reference Maps, 2001 Census (geography products: geographic reference products)AbstractFor the 2001 Census, four national maps (covering all of Canada) show the following standard geographic areas: (a) Census Divisions, 2001 - Shows the census division (CD) boundaries and codes within each province and territory, on a background of major lakes and rivers. The map also lists the CD names in CD code order, by province and territory. (b) Economic Regions and Census Divisions, 2001 - Shows the economic region (ER) and census division (CD) boundaries and codes within each province and territory. The map also lists, by province and territory, the ER names in ER code order, within which their component CD codes and names are numerically listed. (c) Census Metropolitan Areas and Census Agglomerations, 2001 - Shows the general location of census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and census agglomerations (CAs) within each province and territory, with large dots designating CMAs and small dots designating CAs. The map also lists the CMA/CA names in CMA/CA code order, by province and territory. (d) Statistical Area Classification, 2001 Census Subdivisions - Shows census subdivisions (CSDs) classified by colour according to the category of the Statistical Area Classification (SAC) they are assigned to. The categories include: component of a census metropolitan area/census agglomeration, component of a census metropolitan area and census agglomeration influenced zone (strongly influenced, moderately influenced, weakly influenced or not influenced), or component of the north (Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon Territory). The scale of the CD, ER, and CD, and CMA and CA maps is 1:10,000,000 (with an inset showing southern Quebec and southern Ontario at 1:5,000,000), and their approximate dimensions are 91 cm by 66 cm (36 inches by 26 inches). The approximate size of the PDF files varies between 1.2 MB and 1.4 MB. The scale of the SAC map is 1:7,500,000 (with an inset showing southern Quebec and southern Ontario at 1:4,000,000), and its approximate dimensions are 91 cm by 91 cm (36 inches by 36 inches). The approximate size of the PDF files is 4.3 MB.
