These data sets are available online from each of the partner countries for download. This data has been revised and re-released in 2006. The North American Atlas data are standardized geospatial data sets at 1:10,000,000 scale. 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 North American Atlas - Hydrography data set shows the coastline, linear hydrographic features, and area hydrographic features in North America. This data has been revised and re-released in 2006. This data set was produced using digital files supplied by Natural Resources Canada, Instituto Nacional de Estadística Geografía e Informática, and the U.S. Geological Survey. Purpose: The North American Atlas data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national and continental level. These data should be displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:10,000,000-scale data. No responsibility is assumed by Natural Resources Canada, Instituto Nacional de Estadística Geografía e Informática, or the U.S. Geological Survey in the use of these data. Supplemental_Information: The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) is an international organization created by Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America under the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC). The CEC was established to address regional environmental concerns, help prevent potential trade and environmental conflicts, and to promote the effective enforcement of environmental law. The Agreement complements the environmental provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Further information on the CEC is available from http://www.cec.org/ or from >Commission for Environmental Cooperation >393, rue St-Jacques Ouest >Bureau 200 >Montréal (Québec) >H2Y 1N9 Canada > >Telephone: 514 350 4300 >Facsimile: 514 350 4314 >Electronic mail: info@ccemtl.org > All North American Atlas data sets are available in three data formats: Arc/INFO Export format (e00), ArcView Shapefile, and Geography Markup Language (GML). Although these data are distributed in geographic coordinates, the North American Atlas Map uses a Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area projection. The following parameters were used for the map: >Longitude_of_Projection_Center: -100.00 >Latitude_of_Projection_Center: 45.00 >False_Easting (metres): 0.0 >False_Northing (metres): 0.0 >Semi-major_Axis: 6370997.0 >Denominator_of_Flattening_Ratio: 1.0 >Ellipsoid_Name: Sphere >Units: metres Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Single_Date/Time: Calendar_Date: 200608 Currentness_Reference: publication date Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: Irregular Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: 152.0 East_Bounding_Coordinate: 4.0 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 90.0 South_Bounding_Coordinate: -5.0 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: Hydrography Theme_Keyword: Streams Theme_Keyword: Rivers Theme_Keyword: Lakes Theme_Keyword: Coastline Theme_Keyword: Shoreline Theme_Keyword: Reservoirs Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: Mid-latitude Place_Keyword: Western Hemisphere Place_Keyword: Northern Hemisphere Place_Keyword: North America Place_Keyword: NAFTA Place_Keyword: North America Free Trade Agreement Place_Keyword: Canada Place_Keyword: Mexico Place_Keyword: United States Access_Constraints: None Use_Constraints: All data for Canada and other areas outside of Mexico and the United States of America are covered by the Geogratis User Agreement for Digital Data; see http://geogratis.gc.ca/e_license.html.

Attribute data that could not be verified in such a manner were interactively queried to check for anomalies such as duplication of data in fields requiring unique values and incorrect feature coding. Data for areas outside of Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America are only provided for context; Natural Resources Canada, Instituto Nacional de Estadística Geografía e Informática, and the U.S. Geological Survey assume no responsibility for the completeness, accuracy, or presentation of this data. Logical_Consistency_Report: Topology was built and a quality control of the hydrography polygon data was done in order to ensure topological polygon structure. A quality control of the linear hydrography data was done in order to ensure topological consistency within each country and across country boundaries. Completeness_Report: This data set includes hydrography for all of North America as shown at 1:10,000,000 scale. The data completeness reflects the content of the source data, the integration done by the cartographers, and the quality control of the content performed by each country. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Positional accuracy of the data is unknown. Positions are dependent on the accuracy of the source data and on the result of the generalization and integration processes. Data for areas outside of Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America are only provided for context; Natural Resources Canada, Instituto Nacional de Estadística Geografía e Informática, and the U.S. Geological Survey assume no responsibility for the completeness, accuracy, or presentation of this data.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 4M Mexico Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 10M Coastline Process_Date: 2003 Process_Step: Process_Description: Drainage needed to extend features to the map extent was compiled from the 1:10,000,000 National Atlas of Canada Reference Map Series data set. Linework was fitted to the coastline. The attribute for the country was added to the data. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 10M CA Reference Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 10M Coastline Process_Date: 2003 Process_Step: Process_Description: Linework was cartographically adjusted along country boundaries to ensure correct connection of adjoining hydrographic features. Process_Date: 2004 Process_Step: Process_Description: Because the linework came from many different sources and scales, a final cartographic review was done to the full hydrographic file to ensure cartographic compatibility at 1:10,000,000 scale. A quality control of the linear hydrography data was done in order to ensure topological consistency within each country and across country boundaries. Polygon topology was created so the area hydrography features could be shown as polygons and an area fill could be used for cartographic representation. Each country then performed a final cartographic check to verify the selection and position of the linework. The attributes were also verified. Process_Date: 2004 Process_Step: Process_Description: Using the original 1:10,000,000 hydro files (NA_Hydro04) the USA hydro feature lines (lakes and rivers) were refined using the 1:2,000,000 hydro data files (HY0301) as a guide. Some spatial features were added and others were corrected. Names were taken from the 1:2,000,000 data (HY0301), then researched and tagged to the geometry based on 1:100,000 scale base maps. For Alaska, the names were taken from the 1:250,000 scale sheets.

Hydro features were adjusted along the border in Canada to match the changes in the USA. Then the Canadian hydro feature lines (lakes and rivers) were tagged with names taken from the 1:1,000,000 National Scale Frameworks Hydrology file (NSFH_2003), the 1:10,000,000 paper map and the 1:7,500,000 reference map data. The quality control of the data was performed in order to check the attributes and geometry, and to make corrections before release.

Unfortunately, the text file had to be edited fairly extensively in Microsfot WordPad version 5.1 to get all the elements to import correctly, so there may still be some errors or missing pieces. This editing involved modifying the lineage and process steps formatting; adding the attributes FID, Shape, and HYDRO_, as well as making all the other attribute labels upper-case letters so that the metadata would import correctly. In addition, the references in the attribute section to the polygon attributes had to be deleted.

The dataset had the coordinate system defined as Geographic, and all the parameters for NAD83. To make the dataset more compatible with loading into ArcMap, the coordinate system name needed to reflect the one recognized by ESRI. All the "define projection" did was alter the Geographic coordinate system name from "Geographic" to "GCS_North_American_1983".
