Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the density of the Canadian population for 1951. The first map display Western provinces, while the second map concentrates on southern Ontario and the Maritimes. Only the most populous areas are covered. Population density is illustrated by denoting the number of inhabitants per square mile.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows condensed maps of distributed sawmills in Canada, circa 1951. There are two main maps, one displaying the Western provinces of Canada, and the other southern Ontario, and Eastern provinces. In the Western provinces, Vancouver Island and surrounding areas are displayed in a larger scale window in the corner. The map of Eastern provinces created a large scale map of the northern section of Newfoundland.

Preliminary geological map (1:50 000 scale) of Division Mountain area, southern Yukon (NTS 105 E/5 west-half and 115 H/8 east-half) including geological cross-sections, mineral occurrences, fossil localities, and marginal notes on physiography and stratigraphy.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the distribution of the Canadian population, circa 1951. Population sizes are indicated on the map by representative units of 50 or 1000. In southern Canada, the population of the 15 metropolitan areas and urban centres of 25 000 inhabitants and over is shown by a disc, the area of which is proportional to its population. The scale ranges from metropolitan Montreal (1 395 400 inhabitants) to Glace Bay (25 586 inhabitants).

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows as many populated places in the southern halves of Alberta, British Columbia and a portion of Saskatchewan, as the scale of the map will permit. It also indicates, within certain limits, the number of inhabitants at each place according to the 1956 Census of Canada. The map also distinguishes between those places which were incorporated and those which were not. Therefore, it shows the urban municipalities in those parts of the various provinces covered by the map.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows as many populated places in the Great Lakes area as the scale of the map will permit. It also indicates, within certain limits, the number of inhabitants at each place according to the 1951 Census of Canada. The map also distinguishes between those places which were incorporated in cities, towns, and villages, and those which were not. Therefore, it shows the urban municipalities in those parts of Ontario and Quebec covered by the map.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the extent of forest regions of Canada. It displays the extent of forest regions of Canada under natural conditions. Therefore, although many parts of Southern Canada are no longer forested, no attempt has been made to indicate such areas on this map. For each forest region, forest sections are indicated.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows two condensed maps for the distribution of areas seeded in wheat and barley for harvesting circa 1951. Therefore, in the case of wheat, the areas include those seeded in the fall of 1950 as well as those seeded in the spring of 1951. These two maps are both accompanied by pie charts showing the percentage distribution of seeded areas by province. No areas were devoted to either wheat or barley in Newfoundland.

Surficial geology map including marginal notes on physiography, glacial history, placer gold potential, drainage anomalies and terrain hazards.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate that shows two condensed maps, and three sets of graphs to show population change for the period 1851 to 1951. The top map shows the percent changes in population in eastern Canada for the period 1851 to 1901 (Newfoundland data is for 1857 to 1901). The bottom map shows the percent changes in population for Canada for the period 1901 to 1951 (Northwest Territories data is for 1911 to 1951). The first set of graphs show birth, death and natural increase rates per 1000 population for the period 1931 to 1951 for Canada and the provinces.
