Hello
I am looking for a physical map (not digital) of the Virginia section (only Virginia) of the AT.
I found this one http://www.sherpaguides.com/virginia/mountains/long_trails_valleys/appalachian_trail.html but would like something with more detail.
I also need it to be one map rather than multiples.
Thanks for your help !

Nat Geo may have one?

Thanks Rolls ; I have done an extensive internet search with no luck. That is why I asked for input here on the forum.
Chuck, I tried NatGeo first but only found maps of the entire trail.
Does anyone else have any ideas ?
Much appreciated !

Good luck with your quest. Finding a single paper map that covers the 550 miles of AT in the state of Virginia with any detail will be near if not impossible. I currently have the ATC maps 1 through 5 that I would be willing to part with if you are interested.

The National Geo small book maps might work (http://www.natgeomaps.com/trail-maps/topographic-map-guides), though you'll probably have to buy several to cover VA. They are more like a brochure/book that opens up, but closed they are the size of a folded map. Pretty cool.
(Looks like you need three of them, # 1503, 1504, and 1505)
We were just through Virginia on a vacation trip. At Skyland gift shop in the Shanandoah I purchased a National George map of the AT in the park and I saw another set of 3 for the entire park (more detail presumably). So you can get that much on one or in one set.

If you carry a smartphone, I would just go with the Guthooks AT app. The two sections covering Virginia are $8.99 each. The app is good enough for general trail use.

Thanks for all the input.
The goal is a wall map that would display all of Virginia.
I will let you know how we come out on this project.
Thanks Again! :sun

If you want a wall map. I'd get an image and take it to a Staples (no commercial interest at all) and have them print to size.

It looks like that is exactly what I will be doing Chuck.
But first I am going to have to combine multiple images to make them into a single map.
Seems like I recall a Web site, free, where you can do just that. Or maybe with Google maps?

There a website called onlinemapfinder (one word) that seems to do what you're wanting.
