AT Maps Reproduced below in five sections is the National Park Service overview map of the Appalachian Trail. You can also retrieve our reduced inline map that we use to track the Fox's progress down the trail. National Park Service maps are public domain, free for duplication and use. Several of them are already available in electronic form at the Service's Cartographic Services Page. Since the Appalachian Trail map is not yet electronically available, we have scanned in the trail map ourselves. The maps were scanned on a Hewlett-Packard 300dpi scanner connected to Linux machine running a (registered!) copy of xv with its scanner module included. They were scanned at 150dpi, the minimal resolution at which the smallest text was comfortably readable; this has resulted in quite large graphics files, as you can see below. The scanning produced the TIFF files directly, which were then converted into the GIF and JPEG files using the Gimp image processing package. You might observe a white margin that intrudes along the right side of the scan in the bottom two images. This is not an accident, nor the result of shoddy scanning; the copy of the NPS brochure we possess is actually narrower near its bottom.

Disclaimers [Reproduced from the National Park Service web page.] You may use National Park Service cartographic data provided you agree to assume complete legal and ethical responsibility for problems resulting from use. While National Park Service maps can be easily modified, understand that modifications can adversely alter the accuracy, meaning, and design integrity of the original data. You are prohibited by law from using the National Park Service seal or claiming National Park Service endorsement with downloaded maps. National Park Service maps are graphical documents designed and produced as general orientation and route finding maps for the lay public. They are NOT intended for backcountry hiking, navigation, GPS referencing, mountaineering, and other specialized uses for which U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps are normally used. National Park Service maps do NOT have legal authority. They are NOT official boundary documents; many small outlying park areas and private inholdings can not be shown at map scales intended for visitor use. For more details see the National Park Service Digital Maps Data Sources & Accuracy Statement.
