Gulf Islands - Nanaimo & Islands

Series details

£9.95

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: contours at 20m intervals, with a UTM grid and margin ticks for latitude and longitude. The map covering the southern Gulf Islands (Galiano, Mayne, Saturna, Pender and Saltspring) has overprint highlighting various accommodation (B&Bs, guest houses and campsites, etc), places of interest, plus recreational facilities and sites, including hiking, cycling, fishing, scuba diving, and golf. The overprint on the northern Gulf islands of Gabriola and Valdes, and on the south-eastern tip of the Vancouver Island is limited to campsites and some recreational facilities only.
