Wells Gray - Murtle Lake

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: Wells Gray Provincial Park and its surrounding area at 1:250,000, extending approximately from 51º30’ to just below 53º and from 121º30’ eastwards to almost 118º. Extensive overprint highlights various camping and RV sites and trailer parks, places for sport and recreational activities, tourist information, petrol stations, etc. The map has a UTM grid but without coordinates being shown and cross-ticks for latitude at 15’ intervals and longitude at 30’. Contours are at 100 feet intervals, with all spot heights also given in feet.

On the reverse, the area around Murtle Lake is shown at 1:50,000. This side has a proper UTM grid and margin ticks for latitude and longitude at 5’ intervals. Contours are at 100 feet intervals, with all spot heights also given in feet.
