I've probably had no better than 50% success rate finding WCPP campsites where they allegedly existed on various maps.

Opasquia?!?!?

I'm betting < 25% hit rate!

My guess is that many of the WCPP campsites were originally source from something like the legacy forest project (the basis of many on PCD that are not present).  So, I understand your skepticism.

The good news is that the ones marked on my sample didn't use anything like a legacy source for the campsites ... they were marked on someone's travel map ... red flags are where they actually camped and blue dots are those that were identified during travel.  (Red flags are accompanied by number of tents that could be placed there--all 2 or more; some blue dots are marked as "nice" or "good").  That's not to say that some might not have been obliterated since then; I've seen such evidence on several WCPP campsites.

The sample also includes one fish symbol--they were used to mark where walleye or pike were found.  (I didn't bother including wildlife spottings.)
