Title: Maps Post by Jshep on Apr 24th, 2010 at 5:46pm
On the website (You need to Login or Register, it says there are digital maps on this website titled "Magical Maps of the Boundary Waters". I don't see any maps on this site, however. I imagine the information I found on the Minnesota visitor site is outdated, but I thought I would check.
This is a terrific website, however, with great information. Thanks for setting this up. |

Well, actually there ARE maps on the QJ site, but you have to be granted "Inukshuk" status (i.e., you make a nominal contribution to maintain the board) to get them. Currently available maps include: Quetico Provincial Park & Boundary Waters (topo & aerial) with portages and campsite locations. Woodlands Caribou Provincial Park (similar to the above but also provides the option for canoe routes and a few other details). These maps are essentially free when you make a contribution to the board ... just post a request for selected maps on the Inukshuk forum (visible when you become an inukshuk), and one of the members will send you a DVD of the requested area (also available on CD with some restrictions on content due to size of files). dd |

This was actually the cutting edge for BW/Q maps before GPS thingys got popular. Download the free trial. As I recall it's simply a nearly fully functional lowrez of the BW version.

Had been using Fisher maps (am old school map and compass; haven't used a GPS device, yet), but ordered a set of Voyageur Maps for BWCA trip (see VoyageurMaps.com) and am looking forward to trying them. I also like to ink on old trails/roads from USGS quads, although those things can be pretty much grown back to bush. I also try to copy over campsite dots that I know of (for instance, when they are removed in PMA's).
Have not looked at the 'Inukshuk maps', yet. ripple |
