square miles, the Marine Chart Divi- sion of the National Oceanic and At- mospheric Administration maintains accuracy to within 33 feet. “Technology has helped speed up


the development process of new maps,” says Jean Pinard, a Geomatics Tech- nician at Natural Resources Canada, “but it is still a very time- and labor-in- tensive process and it’s not uncommon for it to take up to five years to go from initial research to final product.” Until recently, paddlers planning a


remote trip in some far-flung northern wilds had to travel blind. Pinard says 1:50,000 topographic maps for Canada were finally completed in January 2012, some 108 years after map-makers set out to map the entire Canadian landmass. Also not so long ago,


the more


popular the map, the more frequently it was updated and reprinted. Maps that did exist


for remote areas may


have been last updated in the 1950s. Now, however, all Natural Resources Canada and USGS maps are rendered digitally and use a print-on-demand service, enabling annual updates and eliminating out-dated print stock. David Johnston dreams in rasters and


vectors. www.adventurekayakmag.com 23 www.harvestfoodworks.com
