This map will find its best market opportunities locally, but these two maps of the north shore mountains are two of the most popular NTS maps in print. Actually, neither has been in print for quite some time, and have been available only as print on demand plots. NTS, for National Topographic System, maps are government survey maps, similar in purpose to Ordnance Survey, IGN, Auslig or USGS. It takes 13,500 separate maps at this scale to cover Canada (OS' 204 maps covers Britain; a drop in the bucket!). The maps are printed on plastic for durability, with North Vancouver 092G06 on one side, and Port Coquitlam 092G07 on the other side, with two separate covers. This map is available only folded; anyone wanting a flat copies will have to make do with a plotted copy. The government will not be reprinting either of these maps.
