A Reflection of Our
Natural and Cultural Heritage

Geographical names are more than labels on
maps and road signs. They can reveal patterns of settlement, exploration
and migration, and mirror outside influences to our history - aspects
of the heritage and promise of an area that might otherwise be overlooked
or forgotten by visitors and later generations.
We hope this website helps you discover this aspect of British Columbia's
natural & cultural heritage.
