Community Mapping Network BC

Welcome

Welcome to the new Community Mapping Network (CMN) website. The CMN helps communities in British Columbia and Canada map sensitive habitats and species distribution. Information is integrated from many sources to assist landuse planning and is freely available in over sixty user friendly atlases. The atlases have links to local and remote databases, WMS sources and geo-referenced video. The CMN supports Sensitive Habitat Inventory and Mapping (SHIM) projects and provides customized data entry, digitizing and other tools. By providing accurate and up to date information, the CMN and its many partners will help plan sustainable communities. Continue reading about the Community Mapping Network 
Please note: CMN has new web atlases that work on Macs and PCs without a browser plug-in. Some original CMN atlases (to be revised soon) can only be viewed on a PC and still require a free browser plug-in. Get free plug-in here.

Using our new Home Page Map: You can quickly navigate to partner atlases. You can zoom-in with a left mouse double click and zoom-out with a right mouse double click. You may have to slow down the click speed in your mouse preferences to make it work easily or just double click very fast!
