Map of Haida Gwaii

$129.00 CAD

An ocean-focused wall map that helps you tell better stories and plan better adventures.

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

This Haida Gwaii 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

Some waters test everything you've got. Some places don't forgive mistakes. This map of the Haida Gwaii archipelago, including Gwaii Haanas, honors the remote edges of BC's north west coast, where adventure calls the bold.

Map Purpose

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

Materials

All maps are printed with giclée techniques using fade resistant, archival inks on 240gsm, satin photo paper with a resin coating. The result is a crisp white base with vibrant colours.

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.

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

For a long time Haida Gwaii was the last frontier of my sailing goals. I remember being so proud of myself the first time I crossed the fabled Hecate Strait! Little did I know that I had barely touched the edge of what this archipelago has to offer a waterperson.

It's not easy. The east side is crazy shallow, the west side is craggy and deep. The forecasts are shifty. The charts are thin. Help is far away. But if you work for it, if you bring your skills up, it's worth the struggle and stress. It's got some of the biggest beaches I've ever seen. The longest narrows I've ever taken my boat through. The steepest, wildest west coast you could possibly imagine. Crazy beach combing. All the wildlife. And a lot of rain. It's so worth it.
