The map
About this Nanaimo map poster
Nanaimo lies on the east coast of Vancouver Island, facing the Strait of Georgia across from the mainland. It is a city of bays and headlands, with a working harbour at its centre and neighbourhoods spread over the rolling land behind.
From above, the coastline is the dominant feature: the downtown harbour, with its seawall walkway, and Newcastle Island, known as Saysutshun, sitting just offshore as a provincial park. Ferry terminals at Departure Bay and Duke Point link the city to the mainland, and streets climb inland in curving lines around lakes and hills.
Nanaimo grew as a coal-mining town in the nineteenth century, and the Bastion, a Hudson's Bay Company fort tower, still stands near the harbour. It is also known across Canada for the Nanaimo bar. A Nanaimo map poster shows a city shaped by its coastline and by the hills and lakes behind it.
