A key source of geographic information the Atlas provides a selection of interactive and historical maps and geographical data available for reference or downloading. (Government of Canada)

The Mapping tool is a dynamic map viewer offering a complete coverage of the country at national, regional and local scales and allows you to:
- Search place names.
- Measure distances.
- Selectively display individual Toporama layers such as transportation, contours, hydrography or place names.
- Choose from 3 base layers: Hillshade, Landsat imagery and the Canada Base Map.
- Control the level of layer transparency.
- Display the water flow to see downstream flow direction.
- Customize your map by adding text using the drawing tools.
- Add your own data points to the map by importing them from a CSV file.
- Import annotations to add to your map.
- Download raster maps, vector data, and elevation data.
The maps show in detail:
- ground relief (landforms and terrain);
- drainage (lakes and rivers);
- forest cover;
- administrative areas;
- populated areas;
- roads and transport facilities (including roads and railways);
- other constructed features.

The Geological Survey of Canada's database GeoScan has more than 45 000 records of publications released by the Canadian Centre for Remote Sensing or Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), including maps.

The Canada Land Inventory is a comprehensive multi-disciplinary land inventory of rural Canada, covering over 2.5 million square kilometers of land and water. Land capability for agriculture, forestry, wildlife, recreation, wildlife (ungulates and waterfowl) was mapped. Over 1000 mapsheets at the 1:250,000 scale were created during the 1960's, 70s, and early 80's. Although the information is old, and better information is available for some areas as part of more recent soil surveys, the interpretations are still largely valid, and many jurisdictions still use them for land use planning purposes.

Find a map or geospatial dataset about Indigenous communities or the North. The maps are available as web-based interactive maps or static maps that can be downloaded and printed.

Developed by the University of Maine, this map recognizes Indigenous names for places and landscape features. These names are shared with the permission of local First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities.

From online interactive maps, to printable tiled maps, to giant floor maps from Canadian Geographic.

Native Land strives to map Indigenous territories, treaties, and languages across the world in a way that goes beyond colonial ways of thinking in order to better represent how Indigenous people want to see themselves.
This map does not represent or intend to represent official or legal boundaries of any Indigenous nations. To learn about definitive boundaries, contact the nations in question. Also, this map is not perfect -- it is a work in progress with tons of contributions from the community.
