This political map of North America shows national boundaries, country names and oceans.

The North American Atlas data are standardized geospatial data. 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 new version of the North American Atlas - Political Boundaries data set shows political entities in North America as polygons representing jurisdictional areas, such as, International boundaries, Provincial boundaries and State or territory boundaries.This is a revised version of the 2010 data set released by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation. This new version integrates political boundaries spatial vector information published by each country in 2021. The data set includes 10 provinces and 3 territories in Canada; 32 states in Mexico; 48 states and the District of Columbia in the conterminous United Sates, Alaska and Hawaii, as well as Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean region.Files Download

The boundaries of five different geographic areas -- North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia -- are digitally represented in this collection of data files that can be used in the production of computer maps. Each of the five areas is encoded in three distinct files: (1) coastline, islands, and lakes, (2) rivers, and (3) international boundaries. There is an additional file for North America (Part 4: North America: Internal Boundaries) delineating state lines in the United States and provincial boundaries in Canada. The data in each of the files is hierarchically structured into subordinate geographic features and ranks, which may be used for output plotting symbol definition. The mapping scale used to encode the data ranged from 1:1 million to 1:4 million.

Contained within the Atlas of Canada 8.5x11 series maps is a map which was prepared by three mapping agencies in cooperation with the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC). The CEC is located on Montreal and was created by Canada, Mexico and the United States under the North American Agreement on environmental Cooperation (NAAEC). The three mapping agencies involved are The Atlas of Canada, The National Atlas of the United States and the National Institute of Statistics, Geography and Informatics (INEGI) of Mexico. The map shows populated places, transportation routes, hydrography, bathymetry and political boundaries for all of North America. The scale of the map is 1:10 000 000 and it uses the Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area Projection. Many hydrographic and political names are shown in English, French and Spanish.

A joint venture involving the National Atlas programs in Canada (Natural Resources Canada), Mexico (Instituto Nacional de Estadística Geografía e Informática), and the United States (U.S. Geological Survey), as well as the North American Commission for Environmental Co-operation, 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 both for visualization and download. The North American Atlas data are standardized geospatial data sets at 1:10,000,000 scale.

This data set depicts federal lands having restrictions on access or activities -- that is, lands mangaed by the National Park Service, Defense Department, or Energy Department -- in western North America. The data set was created by reformatting and merging state- and province-based ownership data layers originally acquired from diverse sources (including state GAP programs, USBLM state offices and other sources). For each original dataset 3 additional fields, "Pub_Pvt", "CA_OWN", and "SOURCE" were added and populated based on the specific ownership information contained in the source data. The original coverages were then merged based on the "CA_OWN" field. Finally, NPS, DOD, and DOE lands were selected out of the ownership layer. All work was completed in AcMap 8.3. This product and all source data are available online from SAGEMAP: http://sagemap.wr.usgs.gov.

A political map of the northern territories showing boundaries, the territorial capitals, selected populated places with names, selected drainage with names and selected roads.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows twenty-two condensed maps of the principal stages by which Canada evolved into a Federal State of ten provinces and two territories. The timeline of these maps ranges from 1763, when, as per the Treaty of Paris, most of northeastern North America became British to 1949, when Newfoundland became the tenth province. Each map is accompanied by a short descriptive text.
