I had a hard time finding maps of the off road trails on the east coast.  It was even harder finding anything high resolution and accurate.  So the point of this section is to be a high-resolution digital map database (at least for trails within about 4 hours of the Baltimore area).  For your convenience, I have converted them all into JPG or GIF files for use in overlaying.  Below is a screen shot of Pennsylvania from Google Earth with a few of my map overlays turned on.

Click on the thumbnail maps below for the full size version.  Save the picture to your computer and then use the image overlay feature on Google Earth to position the maps.  With some patience, you can eventually align the maps into the correct place.  Use alignment cues from roads in the corners of the maps; once you align the corners the centers will line up.
