The Map Links

Over the next many days or weeks I will be updating the map-links on each page to the appropriate maps located at MyTopo.com. There, you can resize the maps and buy copies for your hiking and highpointing adventures. As of early May 2008 I have updated all the Arizona pages. I plan to do the same for the southwest states first, then the rest of the nation afterwards. Check back regularly!
