The map
Squamish lies at the northern end of Howe Sound in British Columbia, on the Sea-to-Sky Highway between Vancouver and Whistler. The town takes its name from the Squamish Nation, whose traditional territory includes this area. Above it rises the Stawamus Chief, a huge granite dome that draws rock climbers from around the world, and the surrounding mountains have made Squamish a centre for outdoor sport.
Water and rock shape the map more than planning does. The Squamish River and its tributaries spread across a flat delta, and the estuary fans out into the sound in a web of channels. Downtown occupies a peninsula near the water, while neighbourhoods stretch north along the valley floor. Highway 99 runs along the base of the cliffs, the only practical route through.
A Squamish map poster suits climbers, kiteboarders, hikers and residents who know this landscape from the ground up. In monochrome, the braided river channels, the estuary and the sharp line of the coast make a compelling composition. It works especially well in the Blueprint or Noir styles, where water and land separate with real clarity.

The river spreads across its delta and estuary before meeting Howe Sound. Its branching channels and wetlands give the map its most intricate texture.
Highway 99 threads between cliffs and water along the valley, linking Squamish to Vancouver in the south and Whistler to the north.
