I phoned MAPS-BC and confirmed that their 1:20,000 topographic series will not cover the Dean River for another year or two. They felt that the 1:50,000 federal series, spanning 7-8 sheets, would be the most detailed topography available, but they do have other thematic series (like land use and caribou habitat) at various scales and dates. I also checked the British Columbia canoe routes map, in case this is a canoeist's question. The map, published in 1986, uses the International River Classification system but did not code Dean River. I just answered a canoeist's question about the Nahanni River with 1:50,000 maps, which were very acceptable, since he wanted to know about the river and surrounding terrain. For more information you could contact MAPS-BC, Surveys and Resource Mapping Branch, Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks, Fourth Floor, 1802 Douglas St., Victoria, B.C., Canada, V8V 1X4, Phone (604) 387-1441, Fax (604) 387-3022. Hope this helps. Lori Sugden, Cartographic Resource Centre, University of Victoria, Victoria, B.C., Canada [log in to unmask]
