Most maps of Canada flatten the country into a wide rectangle and let the Arctic sprawl. This Atlas of Canada reference map does something different: Natural Resources Canada rendered it on a vertical near-side perspective projection, so the country curves the way a globe does and the far north reads at something closer to true proportion. Place names appear in both English and French, which is why it turns up on walls in federal offices, bilingual classrooms, and Ottawa conference rooms where a single map has to serve two audiences.
Map Shop prints it to order with your choice of finish.
