Let me note that Canada is a vast country unlike any other on earth. Most provinces are as large as all of Western Europe. The Southwestern portion of British Columbia is as large as all of France, or Germany, and it is the most densely populated portion of BC. To provide space for showing its many attractions, it needs its own detailed map, which is finally available! Side 1 portrays Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland region of Vancouver urban area and hinterland, the roads north to Whistler and Lillooet, and east to Merritt and Princeton, and the border crossings southward to the USA’s Washington State. Side 2 covers the more northerly portions of BC that fall within the Southwest – the long road west to Bella Coola, close to where my ancestor, Alexander Mackenzie, became the first man to cross North America by land, in 1793. It also shows the magnificent Queen Charlotte Islands, now re-named Haida Gwaii, the port of Prince Rupert, and the newly-important port of Kitimat, both destined for greatness as Canada develops. A tiny bit of the Alaskan panhandle shows at the very top of the map. The cover shows two famous Canadian explorers relaxing in Algonquin chairs by a lakeside, admiring that totally Canadian invention – the float plane.
