This should help you. You can make your map or find the map code of your area and order it from a distributor.

- Link to the country topo on the web. When you zoom(clicking) in you will get one square which is a topo sheet from any distributor.

- This link will basically the same thing except you can download the topo sheet on your computer. If you have more advance knowledge with computers, here's what I suggest. I use Photoshop and select what I need from multiple sheets and create one sheet of the area I want. Then I get a large print and get it laminated. I carry only what I want and need in the bush.

Nanaimo maps and charts have been pretty good to deal with.

I bought myself a BC set of these. http://www.toporider.com/topobc.html

I can print a map anytime, the only limitation is the size of paper my printer holds!!

It's great, print, scribble, throw away when I get home. For about the price of 5 maps, you'll get the whole province!!
