Scale 1:1,000,000. Size 27"x39". International Travel Maps edition. Alberta is understandably a best-seller for us, so we are pleased to be able to introduce our latest edition. While most people probably think of Banff and the Rocky Mountains when they think of Alberta, Canadians tend to think of oil. Canada has massive amounts of oil and provides 17% of American fuel needs. Regardless, Alberta is much more than mountains and oil. The Calgary Stampede, held each July, is one of the best rodeos in the world. The Tyrell Dinosaur Museum near Drumheller is the paramount dino museum in the world. The province is huge even by Canadian standard and is full of pristine wilderness campsites. Large inset maps of both Calgary and Edmonton are included. - $12.95

Scale 1:1,000,000. International Travel Maps edition. Alberta is many different things - a dynamic powerhouse of the Canadian economy, the source of oil in vast quantities, cow country, the Calgary Stampede, the Rockies. Alberta is a real gem in the crown of Canada, and is one of the most popular touristic destinations in North America. This double-sided map shows everything from Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump to the dinosaur pits of the badlands around Drumheller, to the foothills resorts close to the national parks of Banff and Jasper, and the gigantic parks themselves. The Province of Alberta is huge in area and exuberant as only a confident entity can be. The Northern side of the map includes from Lesser Slave Lake and above, and includes insert maps of Calgary and Edmonton. The Southern portion covers from Lesser Slave Lake to the Southern border of Alberta. This is Canada in its glory! A great place to visit, and a great map to explore it with. - $17.95
Item Code : ITMB4232
Scale 1:1,000,000. Size 27"x39". International Travel Maps edition. This is a brand new title for ITMB. Calgary is the focus of Canada’s oil industry, the largest city in Alberta, and a major travel hub for international flights. It is the destination of choice for Europeans planning to travel around Western Canada. The city was founded due to the rail line being pushed westward to meet the line being constructed from Vancouver eastward, creating North America’s only trans-continental rail line. The annual Stampede Rodeo held there each July is a highlight of the city’s busy program. The second side of the map covers the southern half of the Province of Alberta and a bit of BC, with an excellent inset map of the town of Banff, and another of the Province’s capital, Edmonton. This map would be perfect for the short-term visitor wishing to explore from the American border to the top of Jasper National Park, and from western Saskatchewan to British Columbia; excellent road coverage, and all attractions noted. - $17.95
Item Code : ITMB4233
Scale 1:250,000/1:1,000,000. Size 27"x39". International Travel Maps edition. Two words immediately come to my mind if I were to describe Northern Alberta: Oil and Cold. Oil sands could be found relatively easily within the Northern Alberta region. This pushes the Canadian economy forward as gasoline and other petroleum products are becoming higher in demand. Northern Alberta is also about the subzero temperature. The region of Northern Alberta mostly contains very cold, long winters and warm, short summers. Fort McMurray, for example, one of the famous urban communities located in the Wood buffalo municipality, has only a yearly mean temperature of 0.7 degrees Celsius. Nonetheless, Northern Alberta is also a land of recreation activities and wild adventures. On the other side of the Northern Alberta map, we have included a map of Jasper National Park. This park is situated deep in the Alberta Rockies and is surrounded by mountains. Although it is dissected by the Trans-Canada Highway, this park remains as one of the most pristine and wild parks of Canada. This park is a must-see as it can be reached with ease and has amazing natural features. Included insets of this map are Jasper and Edmonton. - $17.95

Scale 1:1,000,000. International Travel Maps edition. ITMB, being based in Vancouver, BC, understandably has a local/regional market for our map line. We have a map of Western Canada, as well as an atlas, a very nice map of BC itself, a map of the south half of BC, and a map of part of BC combined with Washington State. What we did not have, until now, was a map covering the most touristically-visited part of all of Canada – namely, the southern halves of both British Columbia and its neighbour, Alberta, with a small amount of Washington State, Idaho, and Montana (to assist those heading north and needing to know about border crossings). Therefore, ITMB is pleased to announce the release of Southern BC and Alberta. Side One covers BC from the US border (with a carry-on to Seattle) north to Prince George and east to the Alberta border, with a carry-on to Calgary. All of Vancouver Island, the Okanagan Valley, and the Rock Mountain National Parks of Banff and Jasper, are included. The map is rich with wilderness campsite (almost 1,000 are shown, ski areas, fishing areas, even gas stations in more remote parts of the vast province. Side Two covers Alberta from somewhat north of Edmonton (the provincial capital) to the American border and a bit beyond, and from the Rocky Mountains east to a bit beyond the Saskatchewan border. This side focuses on the movement from the high Rockies to the foothills and plains of the enormous Canadian Prairies The highlights of this side of the map are showcased in our Top Attractions guide and include such world-class features as the Drumheller Dinosaur Museum, the world’s best, to the Columbia Ice field, one of the few in the world easily accessible to walk on. Naturally, the road network, train lines, urban areas, parks, and numerous attractions (who could pass up visiting Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump?) are all clearly shown. - $12.95

Scale 1:150,000. Size 8"x11". 136 pages. Mussio Ventures Ltd edition. Welcome to the new and improved second edition of Northern Alberta Backroad Mapbook. We have been hard at work tracking down substantial road and trail updates for the maps as well as adding countless new recreational opportunities in the written section. Indeed if you live or play up north, the Backroad Mapbook will help you get to where you want to go. As you travel north along the BC/Alberta boundary, the Rocky Mountains begin to change. They are less sharp and jagged, taking on a more rounded appearance. The mountains also begin to shuffle further west, until finally the continental divide spills over into BC near the northern end of Willmore Wilderness Park. While there are still mountains north of here, they are small, never topping 1,500 metres (4,900 feet). As you head farther east, the landscape changes, turning first into northernmost prairie in Canada, and then into boreal forest that dominates the north. Finally, you will find an area of Canadian Shield in the northeastern corner of the province around Lake Athabasca. The two largest centres are Grande Prairie in the west and Fort McMurray in the east. Grande Prairie sits in the heart of the northern prairies. It is an active city of over 40,000, and growing every year. The city is built on agriculture and logging, but much of its recent growth stems from oil and gas discovery. Fort McMurray, on the other hand, is an economy built on extracting oil and gas, primarily from the oil sands. The population of Fort Mac has boomed to over 70,000 over the last decade, and shows no sign of stopping. - $36.95 + $6.80 p&h or $18.80 foreign delivery

There are new Hunting and OHV as well as Snowmobiling sections in the writing along with the countless updates or additions to the other sections. Equally impressive are the updated maps with even more roads, trails and recreation points of interest to explore. Southern Alberta is an area of dramatic contrast–where sweeping prairies butt against towering mountain peaks, and the temperature can vary 80 degrees Celsius between summer and winter. Here you will find mile upon rolling mile of unbroken farmland backed by one of the most dramatic mountainscapes in the world, and here are near desert conditions, through which flow some of Canada’s largest rivers, where rolling fields of yellow canola seem to stretch to meet the deep blue sky. It is also an area of incredible beauty. There are few highways as spectacular as the Crowsnest Pass leading into BC, few hikes as breathtaking (in more ways than one) as the Crypt Lake hike in Waterton Park, and few campsites as nice as the ones you will find on the shores of Kananaskis Lake in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. - $36.95 + $6.80 p&h or $18.80 foreign delivery

The great national parks of Banff and Jasper have long been enormous travel destinations within North America. The Canadian Rockies are more majestic than those of their southern cousins, and townsites like Lake Louise, Banff, and Jasper resonate with visitors in a way that more established townsites don't seem to do.This is a double-sided map, with a double-sided cover, so can be displayed either with the Banff side facing outwards or the Jasper side. Either way, this is marvelous map, offering both national parks for one price in excellent detail, showing camping spots, hiking trails, scenic attractions, and areas of accommodation. The map includes an excellent inset map of Banff, the only real town inside the parks, and more basic ones of Lake Louise and Jasper. Try swimming at the sulphuric-laced hot springs pool high above Banff!
