Abstract

Underwater area representing a common range of depths in metres below sea level.

Layer presented at the 15M scale. Different scales can be found on the Open Canada Portal, https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/64aad38d-f692-4ab6-bf2c-f938586c1249 .

The elevation features of the CanVec series include the elevation contours and elevation points. These entities are used to describe the relief of the Canadian Landmass.

The CanVec multiscale series is available as prepackaged downloadable files and by user-defined extent via a Geospatial data extraction tool.
