Checking the map

From Chattahoochee Bend

There's a smiling Kevin on the banks of the river holding the new map. He gave me some valuable help by coming out to cast another pair of eyes over the map. We covered a large portion of the northern map visiting most of the problem areas and discussing how best to represent them on the printed page. The many vegetation changes on this part of the map present the biggest challenge for the mapmaker. The weather was great (and dry) and it was fun to walk back over the map and look at places I hadn't seen in months.

I've decided to divide the remainder of the map into two sections instead of one. Flat Rock road will be the dividing line. I'll first work east of the road (where most of the rock features are). There are at least 3 sq. km. there. That should take me into the Spring. Then I will venture east of the road, where all of the park construction is happening. That is the largest section, something around 5 sq. km. With any luck and a lot of hard work I should be done in another year, by Christmas 2010 - but don't hold me to that prediction!
