The McBride graticule is located at [[53,-120]] and covers the northern end of what locals call the Robson Valley. It includes a large chunk of (probably?) the only inland rainforest in the world, some of the western side of the Canadian Rockies, some of the Cariboo Range, and part of Bowron Lakes (if you are canoeing, check for hashpoints). The primary community is McBride but there are smaller settlements at Goat River, Loos, Crescent Spur, and the West Twin, most settled when the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad punched through in the 1910s.
