NATIONAL
TRAIL PLAN INCLUDING COMPUTER GENERATED MAPS |
| The National Park Service
is developing a national trail plan. Washington State recently
completed its state trail plan that includes excellent computer
generated Geographic Information System (GIS), maps, Washington State's
computer generated map is one of the first state trail plans using
computer mapping. |
|
| A computer mapping system,
GIS, allows for more frequent updates, easier sharing of trail map
information and can be used by local communities to print their trail
maps. |
|
| In 1982 Congress directed
the Secretary of Interior to prepare a national trail plan including
trails on all lands and considering the needs of all trail users. |
|
| The National Trail Plan
for Oregon, Washington and Idaho is to be completed by 1993.
Other western states are yet to be scheduled. |
|
| The Federation of
Western
Outdoor Clubs recommends the National Trail Plan include computer
generated, GIS, maps that are compatible with Washington State's
computer generated, GIS, maps. |
|
| The Federation further
recommends a more timely computation by 1994 of the National Trail Plan
including maps and trail links to Canada's and Mexico's trail systems. |
