• Inland Landmark & Elevation Data: Includes precise elevations and shore characteristics for the Mission, BC area, Hatzic, and the approaches to Harrison River.

• River Bathymetry & Bottom Nature: Provides accurate depth soundings and information on the nature of the riverbed—essential for commercial tugs, log boomers, and recreational jet boats.

• Hazard & Navigation Aids: Explicitly marks river-specific hazards, submerged snags, and the latest positioning of inland buoys and beacons.
