Atlas of Canada - Relief Map of Canada MCR0101E
The Atlas of Canada's Relief Map shows Canada's relief with a colour ramp of elevation ranges. Colour tints of depth ranges show ocean bathymetry.
This map shows the relief of Canada using three different resolutions. Starting with low resolution, as you zoom in, it transitions to medium and then high resolution. The low resolution is derived from the merging of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) High Resolution Digital Elevation Model (HRDEM) from 2021 and the legacy Canadian Digital Elevation Model (CDEM), 1945-2011, resampled to 804 metres. The medium resolution is the NRCan, Medium Resolution Digital Elevation Model (MRDEM) from 2024, with modifications by the Atlas of Canada for cartographic purposes. The high resolution is NRCan's 2021 HRDEM product with 1 metre pixels.
Also included, is a bathymetric layer from GEBCO 2021 (https://download.gebco.net/) resampled to 804 metre pixels.

All layers have been symbolized to match the Atlas of Canada Relief wall map.
