Canada at 1:4,000,000 on an overview map from MairDumont with road and rail networks presented on a base with plenty of topographic information, plus an extensive index which also includes natural features such as rivers or mountain chains, etc.
Maps in the MairDumont’s Marco Polo series have a special fold-out flap in the map jacket providing an overview of the whole country, including in this case the adjoining areas of USA, and highlighting popular locations, with the grid reference system in the margins making it easier to find places on the main map. A set of seven peel-on/peel-off stickers, removable without damaging the map surface, is provided for making selected locations more prominent when navigating.
Topography is shown by relief shading with spot heights and plenty of names of mountain ranges, plateaux, etc. Coverage extends to 74º north to include the whole of the Northwest Passage, and in the central part of the map beyond it to show parts of the Melville, Bathurst and Devon Islands.
Locations of interest are prominently highlighted, with separate colouring for towns or villages and for natural sites including the country’s main national parks. Other provincial parks or protected areas as well as Indian Reservations are also marked. Adjoining regions of USA are similarly presented. Provincial and, in the US, state boundaries and time zones are marked. Road network varies according to the density population. Railways and ferry routes are marked. The map has latitude and longitude lines at intervals of 2º. Multilingual map legend includes English.
Extensive index, covering both Canada and the adjoining regions of USA, is in a separate 48-page booklet attached to the map cover and lists town and villages plus natural features: rivers, lakes, mountains, etc. Also provided is a separate list of World Heritage Sites, an extensive list of national, provincial or state parks and other protected areas, plus a distance table for main Canadian cities.
