Map For Niagara Falls

The Niagara Falls are world-famous huge waterfalls that straddle the Canada-US border. On the Canadian side of the border the town of Niagara Falls, Ontario lies adjacent to the falls themselves, and on the American side lies Niagara Falls, New York. With the free flow of tourists and locals alike across the border, the twin towns are essentially part of the same urban area.

There are 3 main waterfalls: Horseshow Falls lies on the Canadian side of the border, while American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls lie on the American side. The two sides are separated by Goat Island, which is uninhabited.

Despite their grandiose reputation, the Niagara Falls aren't all that high, only 52 meters (167 feet). Compare that to Angel Falls in Venezuela, which measures in at 979 meters (3,212 feet). But the Niagara Falls are very wide and the sheer volume of water rushing through them is impressive.

Here you can find a map for Niagara Falls tourists and visitors.

Blank Canada Map

Last time we brought you a blank North America map collection, and this time I decided to give you some blank Canada map downloads, in case you are studying Canadian geography specifically.

Canada is a huge country, in fact it is the second largest country in the world after Russia. It has a total land area of 9,984,670 km2, or 3,854,085 square miles. Canada has ten provinces and 3 territories, which do not have all the powers of provinces because of their small populations.

In 2009, Canada's population is estimated at 33,730,000.

Here you can find a blank Canada map.





Here's a Canada outline map without political boundaries. These are a little hard to find so I had to settle for one done in black. But you could always use on of the lined maps and just erase the lines with a photo editor I guess.



I hope you found a Canada outline map that was useful for your studies or personal interest. Be sure to check back for other interesting maps and place profiles in the near future.

Climate Maps United States and Canada

The United States is a huge country with widely differing climates depending on the region, ranging from polar in Alaska to tropical in Hawaii and southern Florida.

Other climate types include Marine Westcoast climate along the northwest coast of Washington and Oregon states; a Mediterranean climate along the California coast; alpine climate in the high mountainous regions such as the Rockies; a desert climate in parts of California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah; semiarad steppe climate; humid subtropical climate in much of the southern United States; and humid continental climate, with cold wet winters and warmer summers, in much of the northeastern US.

Most of Canada's land area is subartic, with arctic tundra in the far north. The bulk of Canada's population, however, lives in southern Canada near the US border where climate conditions are different. The coastal area of British Columbia has a marine westcoast climate, similar to that of the American northwest; most of southern Canada has a humid continental climate, with warm summers and cold winters; and in southwestern Canada there are mountainous alpine regions and semiarad regions. These semiarad regions can be extremely hot in the summer (I have experienced 42 degrees in the Okanagan region) but quite cold and snowy in winter.

Here they are! Climate maps: United States and Canada.
