Series 1 (G91-13) consists of large urban Enumeration area (EA) reference maps, covering all 25 Census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and the 18 Census agglomerations (CAs) that are in the Census tract (CT) program. Census metropolitan areas are one or more adjacent municipalities centred on a population centre (known as the core) with a total population of at least 100,000 of which 50,000 or more must live in the core. A Census Aaglomeration is one or more adjacent municipalities centred on a population centre (core) of at least 10,000. Census tracts are small, relatively stable geographic areas that usually have a population between 2,500 and 8,000 persons, located in CMAs and CAs that had a core population of 50,000 or more in the previous census.

Generally there is one map per census tract which shows enumeration areas boundaries and codes on a background of detailed street networks and other visible features. The maps also show Census subdivision (CSD), and Federal electoral district (FED) boundaries. A FED is an area represented by a member of the House of Commons, established based on population counts from each decennial census as determined by the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada and electoral boundaries commissions. The boundaries, name, and population of each FED are included in a representation order (RO); names of FEDs may change at any time through an Act of Parliament.
