Kootenay Fish Map — Explorer
A topographic base with the full Freshwater Atlas stream network — every perennial creek appears as you zoom in, and thins to just the main rivers when you zoom out. Stream width tracks Strahler order (a flow proxy). Toggle fish and barriers over the top — or switch on Land & access to see whose land the water runs through: Crown vs private ownership, public recreation sites, parks, and reserves.
