National Scale Frameworks Hydrology - Drainage Network, Canada
Summary
Atlas of Canada National Frameworks data are standardized national coverages of commonly used geospatial datasets at the 1:1 000 000 scale. A variety of framework layers (e.g. hydrology, roads, railways, populated places) have been integrated so that their relative positions are correct. Hydrology (which includes coastline) is the base layer to which all others are fitted. In addition, the Atlas of Canada National Frameworks collection forms a base to which an increasing number of national scale thematic frameworks from other Federal Government agencies are integrated (e.g. ecological regions, census subdivisions). The National Scale Frameworks Hydrology data consists of area, [...]
Summary
Atlas of Canada National Frameworks data are standardized national
coverages of commonly used geospatial datasets at the 1:1 000 000 scale. A
variety of framework layers (e.g. hydrology, roads, railways, populated
places) have been integrated so that their relative positions are correct.
Hydrology (which includes coastline) is the base layer to which all others
are fitted. In addition, the Atlas of Canada National Frameworks
collection forms a base to which an increasing number of national scale
thematic frameworks from other Federal Government agencies are integrated
(e.g. ecological regions, census subdivisions).
The National Scale Frameworks Hydrology data consists of area, linear and
point geospatial and attribute data for Canada's hydrology at a national
scale. It provides a representation of Canada's surface water features,
and data completeness reflects the content of the source, the original
Vector Map level 0 (VMAP0) revision 4 hydrographic layers, except where
revision editing has been performed. Key value-added characteristics
include river flow direction, connectivity and the tagging of geographical
name keys to selected rivers, lakes and islands included in the Concise
Gazetteer of Canada. The product set for the hydrology theme consists of
six groupings: - Drainage Network Skeleton - Waterbodies - Islands -
Drainage Areas - Supplemental Drainage Features (Catchments, Hydrometric
Gauging Stations, Station Basins) - Cartographic This metadata applies to
the Drainage Network Skeleton, Waterbodies, Islands and Cartographic
groups of featutes, of the hydrology theme.
