Hi Andy,
I’m a NYNJ Trail Alliance volunteer and frequent hiker in the Neversink Unique Area gorge. In the past year I’ve been GPS-locating the numerous ruins of an old logging community called Hackeldam. Now I need to overlay it onto a reference map to make it useful.
Do you have a digital version of the gorge map that would work? Or can you recommend another topographic map that includes the trail system? I’m a newbie but learning as fast as I can.
Thanks very much. You have a great page here.
You can get the trail data and “asset” point data (campsites, parking areas, leantos) from NY GIS/DEC: http://gis.ny.gov/gisdata/inventories/member.cfm?OrganizationID=529
I suggest for making your own maps, you use a free open-source program known as QGIS. https://qgis.org/
While QGIS is a large program once the supporting libraries are installed, it’s a very powerful tool for all forms of map making. It has a bit of a learning curve, but it’s much easier to use then it was years ago, and is a very powerful tool that revivals and some cases beats the commercial ArcGIS.
Thank you for this. Let me give it a try.
