Revision as of 03:47, 19 April 2009

Since Robyn's map of BC graticules is absurdly large for a regional geohash achievement, I thought I would define the graticules of the various Regional Districts. The more populated Regional Districts are disappointingly small in area; the GVRD (Greater Vancouver Regional District) for example spans only two graticules: Vancouver and Surrey.

I have sorted them more or less in "reading order" - top left to bottom right on a map of BC. That means the smallest and most populated regional districts are at the bottom of the page.

The table of graticules format was shamelessly stolen from Robyn's page.

I built these up by cross-referencing the minimal features on the linked Regional District maps from the BC Stats website with google maps and reading the "ll" parameter after centering the map on the point I wanted co-ordinates for. If you have better maps that show Regional District boundaries *and* co-ordinates, please feel free to correct my grids.

Stikine Region

The Stikine Region is the least densely populated part of BC, with one person per 100 square kilometers and no municipalities. (Map)

Northern Rockies Regional District

The Northern Rockies Regional District is far more densely populated than Stikine, with an average of 14 people per square kilometer and one municipality. (Map)

Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine

Kitimat-Stikine is located just south of Stikine and stretches down the coast to the southern end of the Queen Charlotte Islands, inland of Skeena-Queen Charlotte. (Map)
