Bras d'Or Lake
A saltwater lake at the heart of the island, connected to the Atlantic by narrow channels. Its many arms and inlets give the map a second, inner coastline almost as intricate as the outer one.

About this Cape Breton Island map poster
Cape Breton Island forms the northeastern part of Nova Scotia, and its map is defined by water in the middle rather than at the edges. The Bras d'Or Lake, a large inland sea of salt water, fills the centre and branches into long arms that almost divide the island in two. Roads and villages follow its shores as closely as they follow the Atlantic coast.
The northern half rises into the Cape Breton Highlands, a high plateau cut by steep river valleys, part of which is protected as a national park. The Cabot Trail loops around it, hugging the coast on both sides with long switchbacks. In the southwest, the Canso Causeway, opened in 1955, connects the island to the mainland across the Strait of Canso.
Sydney, the largest community, sits by a harbour on the east side, surrounded by former coal and steel towns. On the southeast coast, the Fortress of Louisbourg has been partly rebuilt as it stood in the eighteenth century. Baddeck, on the lake, was the summer home of Alexander Graham Bell. A Cape Breton Island map poster shows how water shapes everything here.

Cabot Trail
A scenic road around the northern highlands that rises and falls along cliffs on both the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Atlantic sides. On the poster it traces a clean loop around the empty plateau.
Canso Causeway
A rock-filled causeway across the Strait of Canso, completed in 1955. It is the short, straight line that joins the island to the rest of Nova Scotia.

Why Cape Breton Island
A map that means something
Cape Breton has a strong sense of place, with Gaelic and Acadian roots, fiddle music and deep family ties. People who grew up there, or whose grandparents did, often hang its map far from home. Others remember an autumn drive around the Cabot Trail.
Personalise the title and subtitle with a family name, a hometown or a year, and set the coordinates line. Five styles are available, including Blueprint and Paper. Printed posters on matte paper ship from partners in 30+ countries, and the digital files cost $9 in six sizes.
