Maps in the Clubroom
We have assorted maps in the Clubroom. You can take them away and photocopy them, but mostly they don't want to be taken on trips because that will destroy them. CopyRight makes color copies if you need color. Finding a map of a particular area may be difficult, though if we made an index, it would be way less difficult. We could put the map index here.
We usually sell the following maps in the club room:
Coquihalla Summit Map, Duffy Lakes Map, Whistler Backcountry Map, Garibaldi Park Map, Callaghan Valley Map
The UBC Map Library
The UBC Map Library has a way bigger budget than we do, and way more, recent, maps; however they do not allow you to take the maps out, and generating copies may have some strings attached (refer to the library's guidelines).
Online maps
Check out a map created by VOC folks at http://www.ubc-voc.com/maps/s2s.html. It combines road map data from Open Street Maps and contours from Canadian Digital Elevation data.
Some details about downloading maps may be found at Online mapping. If you go this route you might appreciate access to a large format color laser printer, but 8.5x11" maps work pretty well for most trips.
