MAP DESCRIPTION

To assist the public in viewing and printing these maps, the Inventory Maps have been divided into quarter quadrangle maps. The quarter quadrangle maps are based upon USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle maps. They have been divided into smaller map sizes for easier viewing and printing.

The maps were created using Geographic Information System (GIS) layers. The base layer is the USGS quadrangle with roads and trails shown as linear features in the background (lighter lines). The routes that were surveyed by GPS units during this or previous projects are shown in heavier lines, as described in the legend on each map.

VIEWING AND PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS

The maps are in PDF format and are viewable and printable with Adobe Acrobat Reader. The quarter quadrangle maps within the red boundary line are available for viewing and printing. Click on a map rectangle in the location map below to open the map in Adobe Acrobat Reader. IMPORTANT: If you look closely at the map there are lines dividing each quadrangle into four sections to provide a more detailed view.
