That's a great find Rasty
Here is a Interactive GIS Map for all Pennsylvania state parks that I found interesting

Possibly out of frustration the trail changes over the years and get redirected away from new streets and nasty townie stuff nobody wants to see. So here is the first layer... more to come.

Make the map you want, select landscape or portrait and right click to copy into Microsoft Word then printSometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

I like topo maps. Thanks.

Here's another one. On this one, after you zoom in, you click the +trail button to get the AT to show up. Then use the drop down menu to select your topo map of choice. Some look nicer than others. I like the shaded option. If you resize your window so the image on the screen is 8.5x11", then the map you print will match what is on the screen (at least very close). Use print preview to get it adjusted.

Any of the rest of you GIS weenies want to critique the map set that I've been working on? (It's for my own use, not sure if I'm going to go any farther with it.)
I recently did a new rollup of the map that includes landcover information. So you can see where the evergreen forest starts, or where there are grassy balds, or marshes.
http://kbk.is-a-geek.net/catskills/test3.html?la=41.2708&lo=-74.0965&z=14 is a good starting point. Feel free to pan and zoom to your favorite spot in the Northeast. There should be coverage of the A-T from Pine Grove Furnace north.I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here. -

I can say this though, but for the "Batona trail" in Jersey I rarely hike south of the line you stopped at, so thank you for that.The post was edited 2 times, last by Socks ().

Can't be much soggier than kbk.is-a-geek.net/catskills/te…=44.0754&lo=-74.2969&z=14. Since in the 'Daks I have the data, I've got fine dotted blue outlines surrounding the mean annual limit of inundation (or in shorter words: inside the dotted blue lines, there will be standing water, not just mud, in the wet seasons). The land cover colors there are dark green=conifers (here in the lowland marshes, mostly cedar), lighter green - deciduous (mostly beech and white birch in this case, with the occasional maple, cherry, or ash), lightest green = mixed forest, aqua = emergent marsh vegetation (here, mostly marsh grasses, laurel and cranberry). Some of the ponds have two shorelines drawn. Those typically represent some sort of variation, either seasonal or beaver-determined, in the water level.
If you get an app like Backcountry Navigator on your iPhone, drop me a line and I can help you get set up to use this as a basemap in it. (This offer pretty much applies to friends only: I don't have the bandwidth to open it to all and sundry.)I'm not lost. I know where I am. I'm right here. -
