I took the WCPP Park Map into Office Max, blew them up in Color, of the area's I wanted to travel.  I used these and took the Big Park Map as a backup.  I put them in my CCS Thwart Bag/Map Case and it worked peachy.  I need to spend a week with DD to get the low down on map making.  Coming to Nebraska anytime soon Wayne?  (hehe)
I wish the Park would develop a set of smaller maps with "segments" of the park.  That were bigger and easier to see.  Oh well.

I can't imagine being in that country and not having topo maps. I suppose a man could get around with the park map blown up but it seems to me a good topo would be best. I am curious as to why you prefer an enlarged version of the park map?

Careful ... I do that too. First time I used the blowup to actually travel by was a real short distance and I was like a mile past the portage I was aiming at before I realized I'd not changed the scale in my brain. I was like WAY past it.

mt and db,
I did have the topo's along with me.  Never looked at em, didn't need em.  Had GPS, Topo's, Regular Park Map, Compass, and my OWN Blown up maps.  The blown up ones and GPS is all I used.  90% of time just Blown up Maps.  I was by myself, first solo ever, and it worked peachy.

I would like larger print for failing eyes.  I am getting older and the smaller print and stuff on the park map is not the great.  So I blew em up to my liking.

Someday, maybe I will get the personal map making figured out like dd or some of you and will fix the problem that way?
Thanks for all your help and Happy New Year!
