Abstract:
The Atlas of Canada 1,000,000 National Frameworks Data, Administrative Boundaries consists of area and linear geospatial and attribute data for Canada's administrative boundaries. It was created using legal boundaries data supplied by the Canada Centre for Cadastral Management, Natural Resources Canada and integrated with the Atlas of Canada 1,000,000 National Frameworks, Hydrology. It provides a representation of Canada's international, provincial, territorial and maritime boundaries. An update to the data set was completed in 2007.

Purpose:
The Atlas of Canada 1,000,000 National Frameworks data are a set of integrated base map layers which form the Atlas of Canada 1,000,000 National Frameworks Data collection. These data have been compiled at a scale of 1:1,000,000 with the primary goal being to indicate correct relative positioning with other frameworks layers rather than absolute positional accuracy.
