How this list was compiled: Items made on 2026-10-01; ids and points are Natural Earth's. Every name on the sheet was read on 2026-10-01 in two places. The Canadian Geographical Names Database of Natural Resources Canada (https://geogratis.gc.ca/services/geoname/en/geonames.json, province 59) and the province's own names service (https://apps.gov.bc.ca/pub/bcgnws/) list Fraser River, Columbia River, Skeena River, Peace River, Vancouver Island, Hecate Strait, Haida Gwaii, Victoria, Vancouver, Prince George, Kelowna and Prince Rupert as official names; the federal database gives the positions the detail lines use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Columbia names the seven neighbors (Alaska, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Alberta, Washington, Idaho, Montana), which are drawn as plain land and not numbered, Victoria as the capital and Vancouver as the largest city, at the mouth of the Fraser River. Five of the 11 numbered places are dots. Placed by hand: the rings of Vancouver and Prince George, above their dots, and the marks of the Columbia River and the Peace River, on the stretch of each river that lies inside the province. Haida Gwaii is drawn as part of the province and is not numbered; no sea, no mountain range and no lake is numbered. No disputed area lies in the frame of the drawing.

What the map draws

The land around the province is plain, without numbers: Alaska and Yukon to the northwest and north, the Northwest Territories at the northeast corner, Alberta to the east, and Washington, Idaho and Montana to the south. The rivers are the Fraser, the Columbia, the Skeena and the Peace.

  • The numbers of Vancouver and Prince George stand above their dots on a short line, because both cities lie on the Fraser River.
