| Abstract | The National Topographic System (NTS) Polychrome Map Standards and Specifications are a description of all features and information shown on a NTS topographic map produced by the Centre for Topographic
Information of Natural Resources Canada. This includes a definition of each map feature, instructions on how each feature is compiled and a description of the cartographic symbols used to represent each map feature. Also described in this document
is how "non feature" information is to be depicted on a NTS map. This information includes the map legend, scale, border and grid as well as notes describing the magnetic declination, map projection and contour interval. This publication is often
referred to as the NTS Cartographic Specification and provides the user with a comprehensive description and illustration of all features and information portrayed on a NTS topographic map.
