Hi Black Tusk; even though there's now a location map, that still doesn't mean the reqmap is no longer needed; the location map is very vague, and frankly I don't like the Regional District blanks as a way to chart things, especially mountain ranges; see Bendor Range or Clear Range for the ones I made, or there's a similar seriies by Organiemensch on pages like Tsawwassen First Nation. Or look at the satmaps I used for Monashee Mountains and Vancouver Island Ranges. Further to macro-scale maps like those, closeups of the range and its surroundings are all worthwhile and much more illustrative than "here's a point on a map with some artificial administrative lines on it that are irrelevant ot the real landscape...".

OK, here ya go:
which is a subsandbox of User talk:Skookum1/BC&PacificNorthwestHistory. Browse the sat photo section in the first link; there'll be something; and then at its source page, i.e. the NASA source page, there'll be a big-big size rendition, where you can find close-ups even closer than what's already available, in most cases. Cloud cover and lighting's an issue; but that area's semi-barren so should show up pretty good. I have to go rescue my porridge and eggs....later. Skookum1 ( talk) 05:28, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
What route?? Some individual's personal odyssey? This is not a proper illustration; the same image without joe-blow's hiking route would be OK; I'll see if I can get GoogleEarth to cough up..... Skookum1 ( talk) 23:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Just to note, as I think I did osmewhere else, that all small ranges which were styled "Mountains" at one time were revised to "Range" at some point, I think because of Holland's analysis and terminollogical system, where "Mountains" is reserved only for top-tier range groupings. Hence Boundary Range/Boundary Mountains, Camelsfoot Range/Camelsfoot Mountains and many others now/then pairings. The old name still has a BCGNIS ref and could/shoudl be linked as I have here with Rainbow Mountains. Skookum1 ( talk) 15:49, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
The dab was my fault in the first place; in the popular imagination these are part of the Coast Mountains but in formal geography theyr'e on the Chilcotin Plateau; much as the Tahtsa Ranges or Howson Range are part of teh Hazelton Mountains and not the Coast Mountains as in some popular write-ups. The dab should be Rainbow Range (Chilcotin Plateau) but I thought it better to discuss it here than just do the move..... Skookum1 ( talk) 00:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
