Place names in Dunster, British Columbia

James Swanson has compiled a marvelous list of place names in the Canadian Rockies, including many from the Dunster area. The list below links to each of those Dunster-area names, all of which have a brief history of the origin of the name (many are connected to early settlers of Dunster). The complete list can be found here http://www.spiralroad.com/sr/pn/listing.html - if you find any we've missed (note that place names with no associated history are not included here) please let the webmaster know!
