Map of British Columbia

$129.00 CAD

An ocean-focused printed map of the entire BC coast, covering over 16,000 nautical miles of shoreline. From the Salish Sea to Dixon Entrance, it’s a single view of the passages, islands, and coastal mountains that hold a lifetime of adventure and wildlife.

20x30 map professionally printed using archival-quality materials and processes.

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
  • Includes water depth shading
  • Paper maps show you the whole story all at once
  • Made for storytelling and adventure planning

The details span 16,000+ nautical miles of rugged Pacific Northwest coastline. From Victoria and Vancouver in the lower mainland, Vancouver Island, the North Coast, Haida Gwaii, all the way up to Prince Rupert and the Alaska border. Generations of maritime history. This is a map that remembers - and reminds you how much is still out there waiting for you.

Map Purpose

This map is for dreaming and story-telling. It is not a nautical chart and is not intended for navigation.

All maps are rolled paper prints with a ~0.78" (2cm) white border that makes them ready to mat and frame.

Dimensions: 30x20 inches (77x51 cm) measured to the outside edge of paper.

Print Colour

Every digital screen displays colour differently so please be aware that the actual item may appear to be slightly different in color than what you see on your computer or phone screen.

These maps are for anyone who likes the ocean: sailors, surfers, fisherman, paddlers, divers, coastal hikers; people who hike up that hill for a sunset over the water, and anyone who loves a good tidepool. PSST...they also make a great gift :)
People who see the map can walk up to it and start asking questions and you start telling stories you forgot you had. You dream bigger. You plan BIGGER. You remember that being on the water matters to you so you do it more.
These maps are from an ocean perspective. The labels are similar to what's one a marine chart: bays, inlets, channels, seas. The towns are good stops for provisions or places to start an adventure. The colours feel like the place feels. It's from a mariners perspective. It's a map for waterpeople made by a waterperson.
An analogue, paper map is pure magic. It let's you see everything all at once. It lets you understand the big picture and easily switch to the details. And! Unlike a phone, everyone can look at the same thing at the same time, which makes for much better stories.
Nope. A nautical chart is a very specific, standardized, tool for safe navigation. A chart helps you keep your boat floating and lets you find your way at sea.These maps are not for navigation. They are for decoration, general trip planning , dreaming, and storytelling,

Why I made this map

This is the map I have hung up on my sailboat. It's for drafting passages and remembering how this complex coast fits together.

Coastal BC is what I think of as "home." On any given year, in whatever season, I could be as far south as the Race Rocks lighthouse, or as far north as Masset. When I think of "home" I think of cold water surf, bright green salal leaves, fishing lingcod, fickle sailing, beach campfires, and crossing paths with my coastal friends in remote anchorages.

We bought our big boat when the world was mostly closed, and we figured, that if we only ever got to sail the BC coast the big boat was worth it.
