Vancouver Island is an island in Canada in the Pacific Ocean, covering about 32,100 km² (12,400 sq mi). This map shows the island on shaded relief, with its relief, rivers and towns.
How to read this map
Wikidata lists a population of about 860,000. The highest point is Golden Hinde, 2,195 m (7,201 ft) above sea level.
The map is centred on Vancouver Island. Towns and cities on the map include Vancouver, Victoria, Abbotsford, Bellingham, Nanaimo and Chilliwack.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders, and fine dashed lines show state or province borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. These are small-scale educational maps, not navigation charts.
