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.
