Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue's geom_sf context and the linked scale-and-north-arrow and prettymapr examples. Inspect the bcmaps package structure to find the appropriate vignette location. Done means a vignette explains and demonstrates a useful approach for generating pretty British Columbia maps, with the intended theme defined clearly.
