GeoBC
Map and raster geek alert. The Province of BC has posted a bunch of their geo data online @ http://geobc.bc.ca
Distributed in kind of a webGIS format, the webpage presently incorporates parcel data, forest covers, health services into Microsoft Bing Maps. Fairly basic data set at the moment, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it expanded in the future. Some data analysis is available via a link to BC Hectares . There is also some free .kmz files which can be downloaded and inserted into Google Maps as an overlay. I haven’t played around with that too much yet.
The real benefit is the high quality ortho images. I was able to drill right down to the building level.

Whoa – look how much smaller the new lots at PK are compared to the ones at Azu. These are really cool!
This is so cool. You can almost see the cabin. Amazing. Dad
Almost is the key word, eh? We are still quite well hidden!
Is that giant parcel at the end behind Brown’s still a Triebel property?
As far as I know Triebels have not sold it but the old cabin is gone
Ah – I wasn’t aware that that parcel went all the way back to the pipeline. I thought it was just a highway piece.
