[pct-l] Maps List

["David B. Stockton" <davstock@tiac.net>]

Someone asked a few weeks ago about maps to supplement the Guidebooks. 
 Although it may be a little late (or may not) for this season's hikers, 
here is a list of some of the maps that I found in '94, with a bit of 
description.  I haven't (yet) used these maps in actual hiking.

In no particular order:

This is a color-coded series of maps put out by the USDA/Forest Service 
Northwest Region.  I do not know if there are California versions.  They 
cover the PCT as of ~1982-6, and each cost me $2.00 from some government 
address.  The maps say they are available from

Forest Service Regional Office
319 S.W. Pine St
Box 3623
Portland, OR 97208

The format is ~30" x 40" with interspersed topo sections and text (quite 
good) and photos on non-waterproof paper.
