This is history in the
making. For the very first time, Canadian topo maps are being printed
privately. This is an experiment, conducted by ITMB with the approval of the
Government of Canada’s Map Office, who nervously agreed to this venture,
which is unique in Canada, and possibly elsewhere. Naturally, this map will
find its best market opportunities locally, but these two maps of the north
shore mountains are two of the most popular NTS maps in print. Actually,
neither has been in print for quite some time and have been available only
as print-on-demand plots. NTS, for National Topographic System, maps are
government survey maps, similar in purpose to Ordnance Survey, IGN, Auslig,
or USGS. It takes 13,500 separate maps at this scale to cover Canada (OS’s
204 maps covers Britain; a drop in the bucket!). The maps are printed on ITM
plastic paper for durability, with North Vancouver 92G6 on one side and Port
Coquitlam 92G7 on the other side, with two separate covers. This map is
available only folded; anyone wanting flat copies will have to make do with
a plotted copy. The government will not be reprinting either of these maps. |
