Area covered: This mapsheet covers Johnstone Strait west of Adam River, the Broughton Archipelago, Queen Charlotte Strait and Cape Caution to the entrance to Smith Inlet. 

Resolution is 1:123,070. Use it for:

• Calculating distances and travel times.
• Choosing destinations including campsites and anchorages.
• For familiarity with the coast for planning and trip logistics.
• Augment your GPS navigation with a handy visual overview as you travel and as you plan your next day's agenda.
• Land features and details not included on charts. 
• UTM grid lines for easy distance calculations.  Learn to understand and make the most of them.
• Printed on extremely waterproof/durable 10-mil stock when 4.3-mil stock is the norm.

Depth soundings are not included. This series is intended to augment marine travel and not to be used for technical navigation or to replace approved Hydrographic Services charts. Kayakers, canoeists and others may find it sufficient for travel without other resources. However, Wild Coast Publishing recommends the more detailed Deck Topper series for navigation by small and self-propelled craft for the better scale and additional detail.  

About the Chart Assistant series: The Inside Passage Chart Assistant series covers the entire BC coastline from Washington State to Alaska in a uniform scale for consistent application.  All Chart Assistants are printed on heavy synthetic paper to withstand the toughest conditions. The new #500 series replaces the individual mapsheets in the previous #300 series and are all double-sided with map information only, unlike the Deck Toppers which provide additional textual logistical and travel planning information.  Use the Chart Assistants for transits and visual trip planning and logistics, and the Deck Toppers for more detailed holiday planning.

Combining with Deck Toppers: The #200 series mapsheets can be used in combination with the Deck Topper series to fill in the vast majority of the southern British Columbia coast in greater detail, as Deck Toppers are twice the resolution, and cover the area in more detail including text descriptions for hazards, features and attractions. If you just wish to see the coast visually, use a Chart Assistant. If you want to explore a region and plan out a regional trip or holiday, use a Deck Topper.
