It may not meet current government standards. A joint venture involving the National Atlas programs in Canada (Natural Resources Canada), Mexico (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía), and the United States (U.S. Geological Survey), as well as the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation, has led to the release (June 2004) of several new products: an updated paper map of North America, and its associated geospatial data sets and their metadata.  These data sets are available online from each of the partner countries for download. The North American Atlas data are standardized geospatial data sets at 1:10,000,000 scale.  A variety of basic data layers (e.g. roads, railroads, populated places, political boundaries, hydrography, bathymetry, sea ice and glaciers) have been integrated so that their relative positions are correct.  This collection of data sets forms a base with which other North American thematic data may be integrated.  Any data outside of Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America included in the North American Atlas data sets is strictly to complete the context of the data. The North American Atlas - Political Boundaries data set shows political entities in North America as polygons representing jurisdictional areas, and as lines representing political boundaries, including International boundaries, Provincial boundaries, State or territory boundaries, and the International Date Line. This is a revised version of the 2006 data set. The North American Atlas data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national and continental level.  These data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:10,000,000-scale data.  No responsibility is assumed by Natural Resources Canada, Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía, National Atlas of the United States, or the Commission for Environmental Cooperation  in the use of these data. completed Natural Resources Canada originator notPlanned https://canwinmap.ad.umanitoba.ca/uploaded/thumbs/document-738bb00c-1509-11ed-b0c0-0242ac13000b-thumb-225b4368-b430-4c82-ace3-36aa32bb0dfa.png?v=7b642a83 Thumbnail for 'North American Atlas - Political Boundaries English' image/png ESRI Shapefile 1.0 Administrative Boundaries Canada Countries Demographic data International boundary International date line Mexico Mid-latitude North America Northern Hemisphere Political United States of America Western Hemisphere theme North America place license Open Government Licence 2.0 - Canada (OGL-Canada-2.0): You are free to: Copy, modify, publish, translate, adapt, distribute or otherwise use the Information in any medium, mode or format for any lawful purpose.

These data are distributed in both geographic coordinates (through National Atlas of Canada, INEGI, and National Atlas of the United States), and a Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection (CEC).  The following parameters are used for the Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection: Longitude_of_Projection_Center: -100.00 Latitude_of_Projection_Center: 45.00 False_Easting (metres): 0.0 False_Northing (metres): 0.0 Semi-major_Axis: 6370997.0 Denominator_of_Flattening_Ratio: 1.0 Ellipsoid_Name: Sphere Units: metres The North American Environmental Atlas maintains this Political Boundaries data and all other base data sets in a geodatabase in a Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection. https://canwinmap.ad.umanitoba.ca/documents/57 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Online link to the 'North American Atlas - Political Boundaries English' description on GeoNode https://canwinmap.ad.umanitoba.ca/documents/57/download WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download North American Atlas - Political Boundaries English.doc North American Atlas - Political Boundaries English (Hosted Document Format) https://canwinmap.ad.umanitoba.ca/uploaded/thumbs/document-738bb00c-1509-11ed-b0c0-0242ac13000b-thumb-225b4368-b430-4c82-ace3-36aa32bb0dfa.png WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download North American Atlas - Political Boundaries English.png North American Atlas - Political Boundaries English (Thumbnail Format) dataset
