Series details

£10.95

One of the titles in a series of waterproof and tear-resistant topographic survey maps of selected areas of British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies. Whilst the Canadian Department of Natural Resources (previously Canada Map Office) decides whether to provide updated pre-printed editions of its survey mapping or switch to print-on-demand only, in 2007 it began co-operating with ITMB on a new series of maps with cartography of the Canadian topographic survey and additional tourist and recreational information provided by ITMB.

The maps are double-sided, with either two 1:50,000 maps combined in one title, or a 1:250,000 map supplemented by more detailed coverage at 1:50,000.

In this title: four 1:250,000 Canadian Survey sheets combined to provide coverage of the southern part of the Canadian Rockies, covering Banff, Kootenay and Yoho National Parks, and stretching from the 50º north to Saskatchewan River crossing. Coverage east - west is from Calgary to the Upper Arrow Lake in BC. Elevation is given in feet, with contours at 500ft intervals (conversion chart to metres is provided). Extensive overprint highlights several different types of accommodation and camping facilities, recreational areas doe hiking, canoeing, horse riding, cross-country skiing, climbing, hand gliding, mountain biking, fishing, snowmobiling, etc.
