ITMB Map of Canada - Scale: 1:6,000,000

Canada, as the second largest country on earth, is too large to map in the same way that normal-sized countries can be portrayed; please keep in mind that Nunavut is four times larger than Europe, and that at least three provinces are each larger than all of Europe put together, and the vastness of Canada starts to sink in (remember, a train from Toronto to Vancouver takes six days and seven nights). To cope, this double sided map is a political map of the country on one side, with each province or territory designated by a different colour and the road and rail network portrayed. The reverse side is highly innovative and consists of 10 large inset maps of particularly noteworthy parts of the country eg the Rocky Mountains and Yukon have expanded coverage, as does Newfoundland, the Toronto region, southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and the Ottawa to Montreal to Quebec City portion of central Canada. This approach has allowed the publisher to portray the entire country on one side and the most important segments for tourism on the other side.
