      Map of

Haida Gwaii

One way to think of Haida Gwaii is as a village of 4,500 hardy, unique characters who live in seven towns spread across the Islands. The ocean and the forest are our front and backyards, the ferries are our connection to the mainland, and our local businesses are where we meet and support our friends. Come and enjoy this archipelago with us.

This map encourages both visitors and locals to visually explore the islands. It serves as a starting point to understand the layout of the land. For more detailed maps please visit www.haidanation.ca/haida-place-names/.
