What's the Canadian term for an Ordnance Survey map??
I have no idea where else to find this information this early on a Sunday morning........
What do Canadians call Ordnance Survey maps? You know, the very detailed maps that you get in the UK that show every building, every contour, etc.
Thanks~!

RBF has pointed you in the right direction and as you will see from the website, the appropriate abbreviation, akin to OS map, is NTS map.
Concerning mapping in Canada and the size of the country, I remember a talk by a Geological Survey of Canada staff member, when I was a student at a UK university. He pointed out that if the GSC started mapping Canada at the same scale as the BGS in the UK, it would take over two hundred years!

To be all inclusive, that should be NTS/SNRC (eh! / hein!)

Topographical and Hydrographical Survey
Topographical Survey is the study of Earth's surface shape and features.Topographic Survey is used to determine the position of any feature or more generally any point in terms of both a horizontal Coordinate system such as latitude and longitude, and altitude. Identifying (naming) features and recognizing typical landform patterns are also part of the field.For more details about topographical survey, visit the following below link.
