This site obtained its map images from the Fox on the Trail site. This site chronicled the AT hike of Bobby de Vos (the Fox). Many thanks to site webmaster Brandon Rhodes (brandon@rhodesmill.org) for making these images available.
The Fox's page provides maps of the Appalachin Trail that were scanned in from the National Park Service's maps, which are public domain, free for duplication and use. We downloaded the tiff images available from the Fox's site and modified them for use on this site. These maps are in jpeg format; you should visit the Fox's site to download the original tiff images.

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.
