Description:
Abstract:
Canmatrix is a digital database developed by Geomatics Canada. It covers the entire Canadian landmass and contains the features normally found on topographic maps (i.e. relief, hydrography, vegetation, culture, toponymy). The maps are available according to their NTS map sheet number. CanMatrix is distributed as GeoTIFF files. The data are available in two resolutions: 300 and 160 dpi.
Purpose:
This digital data set is useful as a general base map on which you can plot your own features of interest and to produce 3D animated maps for geovisualization.
