Original Question:
I have been searching in vain for a contour maps of Saskatchewan (Alberta
and Manitoba would be useful, too). I prefer shapefile format, if
available, or at least something I can open in ArcView or to bring in as a
base map in Surfer.
I am interested in a "quick view" of elevation to compare to weather radar
imagery I have so that I can determine which "high rainfall" events are
likely noise from high hills and which are apt to be real values.
SUM:
Thanks for the links, all.
Jamie Whitters suggested http://www.isc.ca/ but at $300 a topo sheet it is an
impossible dream. Saskatchewan is a REAL big province and the cost to cover even
the area of interest would be phenomenal and prohibitive.
Torrey Sheafe suggested http://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/framework/framew_e.html
but when I try to access the Saskatchewan data, I get the error "Page not
found"
Torrey also suggested http://www.geographynetwork.ca/ and this looked very
promising, but when I requested 'Downloadable Data', 'Elevation and Derived
Prods', and 'Saskatchewan' from the options, I got "No Records Found". Other
combinations were equally unsuccessful.
Finally, Roger Gauvin told me there are no contours in Saskatchewan and passed
me the Sask tourism link. He signed his email "A flatlander". I've been to
Saskatchewan. There ARE hills. And they are wreaking havoc with my weather radar
imagery (they don't call them the Cypress Hills for nothing! And the area south
of Saskatoon is quite hilly).
Can anyone else offer some help? Any Saskatchewanians out there with a spare
contour layer on their computer they could share?
Thanks
Rick
