Need to update List of mountain ranges KenWalker | Talk 07:25, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Added many peaks. The list is too long. I suppose is should be a separate list for each range, but the list is a pretty good selection of the peaks on Vancouver Island by height as it is. KenWalker | Talk 07:20, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
I made up the range map as requested; one thing that's different about the Island is that most of the ranges are small, and some things called "Ridges" and "Highlands" are actually larger than some of the ranges. So it's not like the Mainland - where even so there's still large areas that don't have formal local range-names, other than the big subdivisions (e.g. Pacific Ranges). So what you see is what you get with this map. Typically these ranges were named in the marine exploration era, and so are the ones visible from shore, or discernible as distinct ranges from shore anyway; some like the Sophia, Genevieve and Refugium are really hill-ranges, albeit extremely rugged in most cases. The Elk River Mountains are not officially gazetted so I don't have boundaries for them; the boundaries shown are as defined/displayed on Basemap. No. 7 and No. 8 I drew crappy-looking lines to; I have a version saved without the numbering so can redo the numbers, or maybe in this case do actual rangenames...although with that cluster on the North Island/Johnstone Strait area I'd still have to make arrow-lines....

I should probably re-do the map, as I missed the Pierce and Haihte Ranges numbers; I'd been trying to go NW-SE in sequence but noticed them after numbering and while labelling the others; nos. 17 and 18. Skookum1 08:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
How is Newcastle Range an official name for one of the Vancouver Island Ranges? It dosen't show up on Bivouac or BCGNIS. -- Black Tusk ( talk) 19:10, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
I have been playing around the the {{GeoGroupTemplate}}. See Template:GeoGroupTemplate. I came across it at List of ghost towns in British Columbia. It has some rather slick functions. It would require the addition of the coordinates for each mountain in the {{coord}} format. Any idea where I might get a table with all the coordinates that I could massage into this list? Looking each one up manually and hand adding them might take a while. If that is how it must be done, I would do it and add the BCGNIS links as well. I will add the columns and add a few to see how it looks.-- KenWalker | Talk 03:36, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Would new articles Mount Tzouhalem and Mount Prevost be appropriate for listing in this article? Canuckle ( talk) 22:03, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
In this article , Vancouver island is given an area of 31,788 km2, whereas Vancouver island article gives 32,134 km2. but the biggest discrepancy is that in this article, the range is 45,373 km2. This seems impossible or at least necessitate clarification. 81.185.169.211 ( talk) 09:15, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
