Atlas of Canada

Ever get frustrated looking for good maps to draw on or label? Are you diving into the filing cabinet to find the master and hoping you kept one? Are you searching on google images for blank maps? Are you using out-of-date blackline masters from the textbook teachers guide?

These are all things I was doing when the geography unit came around until I started checking out the online Atlas provided on the government website. There are lots of cool things on the atlas, and I will do a separate post about "toporama", but for good outline maps you should click on "reference maps". You can print off an outline of Canada with lots of different options (such as with the rivers or without, or with the capitol cities or without, or even with longitude and latitude lines). I also use the outline map of BC when that unit comes along.

I no longer have to worry about my outline maps getting out of date or keeping master copies. I just follow the links and print 30 copies when I need them.
