Historical & Thematic Map | Exploration, Settlement & Modern Landscape | Wall Format (685 × 518 mm) | Premium Finishes

A rich companion to the British Columbia map, this Theme Map (Side Two) reveals the province’s journey from early exploration to its present-day identity. Published by National Geographic in April 1992 as part of the Making of Canada series, it presents a layered narrative of discovery, settlement, and development across one of Canada’s most dramatic regions.

Through a series of thematic maps, it connects the past with the present—showing how British Columbia evolved into a province defined by both natural grandeur and cultural depth.
