Great tool for Pennsylvania
Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2016 4:50 pm
Like everyone else, I've spent some time this winter looking for new places to explore. Pennsylvania (where I'm from) has a lot of State Game Lands which appear to be undeveloped tracts of land; some would appear to me former coal mining sites.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission, I just discovered, has a great mapping tool on their website. It lists among other things, streams, ponds, wetlands, roads, property lines, and parking spaces. What more do you need? It's surprisingly advanced for something from a game commission.
"The Mapping Center has greatly enhanced both the quality and quantity of information available when it comes to mapping PA State Game Lands. Outdoor enthusiasts can now customize their own maps with this easy-to-use resource allowing users to search, discover and print State Game Lands maps with features including aerial photographs, topographic base maps, Wildlife Management Units and the ability to bookmark your favorites."
