[edit] 26km wide??
Only 26km wide? Are there boundaries given anywhere? I've always assumed, by looking at the maps, that it includes what's between the southern tip of Moresby and Cape Scott; a lot more than the width/length cited so far....and it's more like a sea than a sound, isn't it?Skookum1 (talk) 16:54, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- That number must have come from http://www.bartleby.com/69/0/Q00400.html -- but its referring to Queen Charlotte Strait at that point, not Sound. I'll fix it and add some more info to the page. Pfly (talk) 20:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, done -- also I notice the map only shows part of Queen Charlotte Sound. If I find the time I'll see about getting a better map. Pfly (talk) 20:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New map
I just made a map showing Queen Charlotte Sound, as well as Hecate Strait and Dixon Entrance, as defined by BCGNIS (and by the A-B Line for Dixon Entrance). I'm not sure whether the map couldn't be better, so am only adding it here for now. Any thoughts? The text seems readable, but could perhaps be made a bit larger. Perhaps a focus on just Queen Charlotte Sound and Hecate Strait would be clearer, leaving Dixon Entrance for another map -- after all the international boundary and A-B Line add complexity to both the map and the caption that doesn't serve much purpose on the Queen Charlotte Sound page. In any case, I thought I'd add it to this page, since the map that was here didn't show Queen Charlotte Sound well at all, and see what kind of feedback I get -- and think about it a bit myself.
