Small Maps
Experimental maps, low-volume specialty trail maps, generally output as color laser prints. Cost is high for what you get but allows the maps to be published at all (most of the cost is the color laserprint itself). Output on heavy paper, they're fairly durable even when a little damp.
Trails of Central Marin County
This new map will show parks and trails either side of Sir Francis Drake Blvd. from Fairfax to Olema. Public lands on the map include GGNRA's Bolinas Ridge, Marin Municipal Water District's Pine Mountain and San Geronimo Ridge areas, and MCOSD's Gary Giacomini, White's Hill, French Ranch, and Roy's Redwoods Open Space Preserves. It also shows Samuel P. Taylor State Park -- the first accurate trail map of this park ever! Using this map you can discover miles of hidden trails just minutes from the urban Bay Area. This is the country you see on the way to Point Reyes National Seashore -- with this map you can get up close and personal with the landscape out the car window.
This map bridges the territory north of the popular Olmsted & Bros. map of Mt. Tamalpais and the Marin Headlands, and Tom Harrison's Point Reyes National Seashore map on the west, and my Trails of Northeast Marin County map on the east. /font>
Parks on this map are a good introduction to Marin's inland habitats -- the rolling ridges clad in oak, bay, and madrone alternating with grassland. As you head west, you get into more wind-swept pastures and coastal scrub habitats you find in areas like the Marin Headlands and Pt. Reyes. It's especially nice in the spring, with exceptional wildflowers.
Features: Trails and fire roads are color-coded for easy reference: purple trails allow bikes; red trails are hiking and equestrian trails. Full-color topographic maps show vegetation, contours, and detailed streets and Golden Gate Transit routes to the parks. Text includes park highlights, agency rules, a list of recommended guidebooks, and more.
