2015 CDT Map Set & Data Book Available Now!

[postholer.com]

The first, complete, free CDT map set and data book are finished and available. This is the only free map set available that follows the official CDT route. There are 381 maps (not counting overview maps), at 1:36500 scale, 200/40 major/minor contours in PDF format. Printing is optimally done on 8.5x11 paper with 0.25 margins.

As a PDF you can put them on your phone, tablet, PC, Kindle. You can print them out. There are no limitations. The topo data used to make these maps is the lastest, most current available.The only other CDT maps available for the official trail will run you $100 - $250 and then you're getting low resolution, grainy, 40 year old scanned topo maps.

The maps and data book can be downloaded frorm the CDT preview page. Downloading requires a login (free).

Creating these maps was not done in a vacuum by one person. If you find this information useful consider a donation to the Continental Divide Trail Coalition

Great service combining a CDT Data Book and mapset in that scale offered for a well deserved donation to the CDTC. Thanks so very much Postholer. Merry Christmas indeed. Ho ho ho. Dancin banana award to all who contributed to the endeavor.

I used both Ley's and the Bearcreek maps together in '12. Was glad to have Ley's notes very helpful, but liked the clarity of the Bearcreek printed maps. Took a couple of the Ley alternates in Bob Marshall Wilderness. Also, for NM, most hike the Gila route instead of the "official" Black Mountains route. Even so having backup PDFs on the phone might come in handy. It's nice of Postholer to provide these and CDTC can put any donations to good use.
