What this local map set contains

The Bulkley-Nechako Regional District directory currently covers 324 lakes or reservoirs. 43 charts use measured bathymetry from a published source; 281 charts are clearly labeled as modeled. Recorded maximum depths range from 6 to 1001 ft, with a median of 47 ft. Those figures describe each chart's deepest recorded or modeled point, not a safe navigation depth.

Species records are attached to 324 of 324 waters. The most frequently cataloged targets are Rainbow Trout (295), Lake Whitefish (164), Kokanee (88), Burbot (87) and Lake Trout (63). These are coverage counts, not abundance estimates or catch forecasts; open the individual map to see the evidence and seasonal context attached to that water.

Three useful maps to compare first

  1. Pinchi Lake: 221 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 6 cataloged target species.
  2. Cunningham Lake: 213 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 5 cataloged target species.
  3. Tezzeron Lake: 142 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 5 cataloged target species.

Start with a survey-backed chart when exact contour shape matters most. Use a modeled chart as broad planning context, then verify depths on the water. Comparing the three examples above also shows whether this area offers one dominant basin type or genuinely different shallow, deep, lake and river options. Access is separate from map coverage: confirm launches, shore rights, closures and posted rules before making the trip.
