This wms offers base geographic features at 1:20 000 scale optimized for drawing speed.

BC Web Map Library

This service includes the entire layer library of Web Map Services, available as individual services below.

Administrative Boundaries

This web map service offers seamless, administrative boundary data for the province of British Columbia.

Administrative Forest Boundaries

Data relating to the subdivisions of the province for organizational reasons and used for forest administration purposes, e.g., districts, regions, timber supply, tree farm, etc.

Administrative Water Boundaries

Data relating to the subdivisions of the province for organizational reasons and used for water administration purposes, e.g., water management precincts and districts, community watersheds, etc.

Air and Climate

Data relating to patterns of wind, temperature, precipitation, etc., over a period of time, for a specified area.

Airphoto Systems

Data showing the points where the connection lines between opposite fiducial marks on a photo would intersect. It also relates to the same point geographically referenced on the ground.

Base Mapping and Trim

This web map service offers seamless, provincial topographic base maps at four scales: 1:6 000 000, 1:2 000 000, 1:250 000, and 1: 20 000. The 1:20 000 base map is Terrain Resource Information Management (TRIM).

Base Mapping Corporate Watershed

The Corporate Watershed Base includes linework, waterbodies, named streams, named waterbodies (lakes, wetlands), named coastal features (points, bays, channels, and islands), etc. The current version of CWB is based on the TRIM data completed in 1996.

Fresh Water and Marine

Data related to the management, inventory and classification of water resources.

Forest Grasslands and Wetlands

Data related to the inventory and classification of vegetation information into identifiable systems of biotic and abiotic components, including sensitive ecosystems and natural plant communities at-risk.
