This British Columbia map balances the grit of the working mariner with the spirit of the ocean adventurer:

  • Colours that capture the rainforest and slate blue seas
  • Ocean-first design with features that matter to waterpeople
  • Labeled like a nautical chart
  • Highlights good provisioning towns and roads
  • Includes water depth shading
  • Paper maps show you the whole story all at once

The details span16,000+ of nautical miles of rugged Pacific Northwest coastline. From Vancouver and the lower mainland, Vancouver Island, the North Coast, Haida Gwaii, all the way up to Prince Rupert and Alaska. Generations of maritime history. This is a map that remembers - and reminds you how much is still out there waiting for you.

Many small islands on the west coast of British Columbia surrounded by water with a sailboat anchored in the distance

If you're a waterperson, you already know: you could spend a lifetime exploring coastal British Columbia, and you'd still find new secrets.

From the bright lights anchorages on the south coast up to the glacier-scoured islands around Prince Rupert and the Alaska border, this is 16,000 miles of coastline where stories are born.

I created this map because the BC coast demands a big picture view. This isn't one region - it's an entire world of salt water. The sheltered Gulf Islands where families learn to sail. The exposed West Coast where surfers chase perfect swells. The legendary Inside Passage that acts as the marine highway for this coast.

Most maps start with highways. This one starts with the coastline.

It shows what matters on Canada's West Coast: navigation aids from Race Rocks to Cape Scott; the jewel of the Pacific Northwest - the Inside Passage route from Vancouver to Alaska; commercial fishing grounds; recreational sailing areas in the Gulf Islands; and working harbors from Victoria to Prince Rupert. Scaled for those who measure distance in nautical miles, not kilometers.

Whether you're a weekend warrior exploring the Gulf Islands by kayak or sailboat, or a seasoned mariner who's made the run to Alaska, this map captures the full scope of waters that have shaped Canada's maritime identity. This is the coast that builds waterpeople - complex, challenging, and absolutely unforgettable.

Perfect for:

• The chart table where epic adventures begin
• Your office reminder of where you'd rather be
• A gift for anyone who's fallen hard for coastal BC

Great map!

Our map of the BC coast is a wonderful addition to the house. It is great to be able to show folks where we've worked, or where we've found glass balls or Yeti coolers while beach combing. One thing I noticed is how often I stop to just look at the coast as a whole. Then think of where we still want to go exploring. Big fan of this map.

Best Bathymetry maps you can find!

Of all the maps of British Colombia and Vancouver Island I can find just gloss over the ocean and oceanographic features. Courtney’s maps just how significant features like the continental shelf are, highlighting just what makes this coast so amazing! Including all the important provisioning stops is a sweet bonus as well.

Useful, gorgeous

Everybody who comes to my place goes straight to this map I’ve got framed up on the wall, total conversation starter. Great for dreaming up trips and getting the big picture. Stoked!

These maps are awesome

Wall maps and charts are so captivating for me, I usually find myself dreaming and plotting new adventures whilst looking at them. Looking at and studying a nice large map is so different than looking at maps on any screen

We have lots of charts and maps posted on various walls in our house and garage and if we had a boat with walls there would definitely be maps and charts on there too!

These maps from the map shop are awesome, we love the colours and the level of detail included; not too much not too little.

I’m looking forward to getting a copy of the Baja map in the future, the colour combination alongside this pacific north west map should contrast nicely and reflects the natural characteristics of each region very nicely.
