To print the above schematic map, it will look better if you start from the postscript version.
There are two topo maps of the Cirque produced by the Geological Survey of Canada.
| Map Name | Sheet Number |
Scale | Contour Interval |
Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glacier Lake | 95L | 1:250,000 | 200m | The scale is too large for the Cirque (the whole thing fits in a 1"x1" postage stamp area). This map is probably only useful if you are navigating the Nahanni. |
| Mount Sir James MacBrien | 95L/4 | 1:50,000 | 20m | This is the best topo map available of the Cirque (it fits in a 6"x6" square). |
You can view digitized maps and order paper maps or digital data from the Center for Topographic Information.
Paper copies of maps can be obtained from Natural Resources Canada.
The region of 95L/4 containing the cirque is shown below (two versions):
