Contained within the 4th Edition (1974) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows location, type of operation and type of metal for non-ferrous metal production plants in Eastern Canada. The map is accompanied by several graphs showing the proportional values of non-ferrous metals contained in ores, the value of production of non-ferrous metals from domestic ores, smelting and refining capacities and value of aluminum production from imported ore for 1970.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the non-ferrous metal mines, refineries, smelters and reduction works that were in production or coming into production in Western Canada, circa 1955. As production figures for individual mines were not available, an attempt has been made to convey their relative importance by showing the ore mill capacities. This map is accompanied by a graph showing the national value and production of non-ferrous metals whose values exceeded $500 000 in 1955.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows four condensed maps of non-ferrous metal mines, including refineries, smelters and reduction works that were in production or coming into production in Eastern Canada circa 1955. As production figures for individual mines were not available, an attempt was made to convey their relative importance by showing the ore mill capacities. The metallurgical industries associated with non-ferrous metal mining convert most of the ore produced into metal in Canada but there were some exceptions. No lithium metal was produced in Canada, while the product of the lithium mine in Quebec was shipped as spodumene concentrates; similarly, the product of the molybdenum mine in Quebec was shipped as molybdenum concentrates.

This map depicts the 6 ferrous-metal mines that operated for any period during 2004. Ferrous-metal mines produce iron ore, niobium and tantalum, all used in the production of steel and steel alloys. Only Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec and Manitoba have ferrous-metal mines. The locations of 15 steel-production facilities, 3 iron-agglomerate plants and 4 ferroalloy plants are shown to provide an industrial context for ferrous-metal mining activity.

Contained within the 4th Edition (1974) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the number of agricultural products by census division that are statistically significant in terms of value of sales from farms for 1961. The accompanying text is an overview of the Agriculture section of the 4th Edition National Atlas.

Contained within the 4th Edition (1974) of the Atlas of Canada is a set of six maps that shows different types of ice accumulation.

Contained within the 4th Edition (1974) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows physiographic regions across Canada. These regions are split into the Borderlands and the Shield.

Contained within the 4th Edition (1974) of the Atlas of Canada is a map showing economic regions of Canada. In addition, there is a portion of the table giving selected characteristics of manufacturing industries

Contained within the 4th Edition (1974) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the density of population for Western Canada that has inhabitants from 0 to 1000 per square mile.
