Official Appalachian Trail Maps

Welcome! After more than 20 years, this page continues to provide one of the most easily accessed AT maps on the web: the official National Park Service strip map for the trail, scanned and split into images that can be viewed in any browser. Simply click on one of the sections to see more detail!

This page first appeared in 1998, when I built, for a friend who is a through hiker, what must have been one of the first hiking blogs on the web. You can still see it here: Fox on the Trail.
