thanks for the post, cartophile checking in!

Much better than what we had. I know this area like the back of my hand, but this is still great. Especially for our newbie relief lookout guys.

glad you got them. Keep the photos coming too!

Will share with BIL, certified cartophile.

Know what I mean?

Thanks for the laugh.

I love your beautiful pictures. I too love good maps...

It's so much easier to know where you are (or where the fire is) when you have great maps.

Thank you for sharing these with us!

It's always something!

But the second Canon 5D Mark-II is here! Double the pleasure - double the fun! Two - Two big cameras for your viewing pleasure!

The best is yet to come. I'm heading down to the Sierra-Nevadas for a tutorial shoot in a couple of weeks.

With a Nikon 5300, then again my hands are small...full format, I struggle to get them buttons...

No, serious.

Maps are as essential as food, water, and gravity.

Next time I go to Vegas I'm digging out and scanning an old map of Los Angeles before the freeways were built.

I'll join each scan together into a single image. I'm thinking it'll require 50 or more individual scans. It's a standard fold out map.

It'll be worth the effort as it will preserve it for all time.

Glad you got some new tools.

You do important work.

maps are my business...

this is my centerpiece project http://nyc.gov/citymap

and we are beginning to make some stuff available for the development community too http://gis.nyc.gov/gis/data/tiles/examples

but thank you for the good work!
