Grid coordinates run from A to J horizontally and 1 to 10 vertically, providing 1 kilometre increments.

Page 1: The first page shows a detailed topographic-style map of Bowen Island with color-coded areas representing different land designations including provincial parks (shown in teal/turquoise), municipal parks (in green), conservancies, old growth management areas, crown land, private land, streams (blue lines), wetlands, and the Agricultural Land Reserve. The map includes terrain shading showing the mountainous topography of the island. A coordinate grid system divides the map into sections labeled A-J horizontally and 1-10 vertically.

Page 2: The second page presents the same map content as page 1 but in a full-page format with a beige/tan border and enhanced visual presentation. The legend appears on the right side of this version, along with a compass rose. The title "Bowen Island / Nexwlélexwm" appears prominently with "Stewardship" as a subtitle and explanatory text about shared responsibility for preservation. Additional credits, sources, and cartographic information are included at the bottom right.
