I just ordered the newest edition of the Chrismar for Quetico park. I have a first edition, but they've made some updates since then and I wanted the latest to help plan future Q trips.

While ordering it, the guy mentioned they have a updated one for Woodland Caribou. If you've never seen their maps, they're great and definitely something you want as a back-up/reference in your map case. I've found their portage locations to be the most accurate.

Thought I'd pass the info on:

If you are planning a trip to WCPP the new map is a must. So much has changed and been added from the old map that you are asking for headaches if you do not get the new map. So many portages have been moved or rerouted. Many miles of  old swampy portages are now on solid ground.

The new map was quite key in solving a few navigational puzzles in WCP last summer. While 95% of the time I used topos I did become perplexed and stuck 2 or 3 times until I pulled out the park map and the overall perspective and additional info provided.

For example when leaving Mexican Hat the topo shows clear sailing right through to the next lake but the lake seems to end......hmmmm, wheres the portage? Pull out the park map and the AHA (!) moment happens rather quickly.........differences in color and the words shallow provide the clues that the wall of reeds and "obstruction" (beaver dam) further inside must be assaulted to gain the next lake.

Important map to have........in a pinch I believe it might suffice just fine to be the only map you would need.
