However, regarding the National Park maps do seem to be mostly the latter, while aesthetically pleasing, the lack of topographic information renders them largely useless when actually exploring the park.
- jacobolus 8y agoThese maps are designed to be informational for casual tourists driving between landmarks and taking short hikes on accessible and well marked trails, not for serious hikers going off trail into the forest or whatever. The parks should also have more serious topo maps available. For example, for the park whose map was shown in the article, USGS offers: https://store.usgs.gov/product/518738 https://store.usgs.gov/product/518738 https://store.usgs.gov/product/518520 https://store.usgs.gov/product/518520 https://store.usgs.gov/product/518727 https://store.usgs.gov/product/518727 https://store.usgs.gov/product/518422 https://store.usgs.gov/product/518422 etc.
