1. BC Coast & Alaska Inside Passage Travel Reference 1:900k 2024

This is a new map for us, combining both the Canadian and the American portions of the Pacific coastline north from the Seattle area to the Alaska Panhandle, ending at the Glacier Bay National Park, which extends considerably north of the Bay itself. Side one concentrates on the Canadian portion, from Victoria north to the Queen Charlotte/Haida Gwaii islands, showing ferry routes and the routes most favoured by cruise ships. As a coastal map, it doesn’t go very far inland, but shows the Coastal mountain range to good advantage. Side two provides a very detailed map of that portion of Alaska known as the Panhandle – a series of islands north and west of Canada that is very popular with cruisers. All parks and cruise line routes are shown. Interestingly, at the top end of Glacier Bay, the Canadian border splits the Panhandle from the rest of Alaska; not intentionally, but when the border was agreed upon in the early 1900s, no one realized that the glacier on that site might one day melt. Well, melt it has, leaving a kilometer-long stretch of beach that is part of Canada! Regardless, this map completes ITMB’s mapping of the Pacific coastline of North America rom the Bering Sea to Panama, a cartographic task that began decades ago.
