This is a shaded relief cached Base Map that is utilizing the most commonly used datasets that are publically available from the Government of the North West Territories and the Government of Canada. It has been rendered from 1:25,000,000 down to 1:1,000 scales. This map is projected in Canada Lambert Conformal Conic projection to best represent the Canadian North. Individual layers are rendered to their appropriate level of zoom or scale. Below is a summary of each layer name and the scale that the layer becomes visible. The Base Map was created from a combination of Geo-Base Canvec vectors, Geo-Base WMS Services, and GNWT, Centre for Geomatics datasets. For Metadata on each individual dataset; review the REST end point description provided at www.apps.geomatics.enr.gov.nt.ca\ArcGIS\rest\services\GNWT\. For Metadata on Geo-Base WMS Service data sets visit; http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/wms/index.html This Base Map can be utilized with any other datasets; it provides a baseline for the best representation of the NWT. This map is designed to minimize the cartographic effect for users to build their own cartographic operational layer top of this Base Map.
