Description:
Abstract:
The National Topographic Data Base (NTDB) 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.
Purpose:
This digital data set is useful as a general base map on which you can plot your own features of interest.
