Notes
1:15000 - 5m Contours
PRODUCTION AND REVISIONS:
- Created in 2021/2022 by David Bakker in OOMapper 0.9.5. Red-drafted the sprint map to ISOM2017-2 in 2021. Fieldwork on expansion in early 2022 (and another day of fieldwork in early 2024, and then a further half-day in early 2025). Potential to expand map significantly further.
- Older Sprint Map Version (Not Maintained): Base map from Regional District of Central Okanagan 2014 2m Contours, produced in April 2019 (small expansion in August 2019) by David Bakker using Open Orienteering Mapper 0.8.3
DATA AGREEMENTS:
- Uses LiDAR sourced from LiDAR BC under the Open Government Licence
LAND OWNERS:
Crown provincial land. Within the Central Okanagan Regional District. Not a numbered Rec. Site, outside of the District of Lake Country, outside of City of Kelowna.
MAJOR EVENTS:
Okanagan Adventure Running Tournament II (2019) - Sprint Map Version
SAFETY BEARING:
Safety Bearing: West to Postill Lake Forest Service Road
CELL PHONE COVERAGE:
- Telus/Koodoo/Public Mobile/Bell/Virgin - Excellent (entire map multiple bars)
- Rogers - Not Tested
UNIQUE SAFETY CONCERNS:
- Large Cliffs & Canyon above Mill Creek (the creek on the southern edge of the map).
- Wildlife (possible habitat for bears and Rattlesnakes - although neither have been observed on the map).
- Motorized Off-Road Vehicles
- Unofficial, Unmonitored Shooting Range about 1km to the North-East above the mapped area (which shoots away from the map area into the hillside). This has become an increasingly severe problem as clearcuts have been added and increased vagrancy has occured since the start of the pandemic. There is also now an occasionally used for shooting area (which we think is illegal because it doesn't have a safe back stop, as it shoots into several dirt bike/ATV trails).
EMERGENCY INFORMATION:

- RCMP: Call 911
