The State of BC’s Forests Appendices Maps — PDF print version

Maps

Numerous aspects of sustainable forest management can be shown well on maps. Many of the indicators in this report therefore provide direct links to relevant maps.

All of the maps used are listed below. Most are available in several formats:

  1. HTML (viewed as part of this report)
  2. PDF (for printing hard copies and making overheads)
  3. Interactive HTML (in the BC Forest Information website)
  4. High-quality print (in British Columbia’s Forests: A Geographical Snapshot – not widely available)

The interactive maps on the BC Forest Information website include a zoom function to allow viewers to see them in greater detail. Several layers can be turned on to show cities and towns, highways, protected areas, private land, agricultural areas and other features. A few layers also have pop-up text for the names of features such as protected areas and ecosections.

The table below shows the availability of maps in the four formats. Click on a coloured Yes to be linked directly to the map.
