Each map listing begins with the map title field. This title describes the coverage of the map as well as any unique map features. If no features are listed, it can be assumed that the map is a paper, folding map. We encourage customers to include the title, along with the Map Link Code or ISBN Number, to assure the correct map is ordered.Most of the maps we sell are folded, except topographic maps, wall maps and atlases. Wall maps are listed with dimensions, in inches, appearing in the title field (height x width).Map Link uses this code to identify each product. Each code begins with the map publisher's abbreviation, followed by an abbreviation of the title. Please refer to this code or the ISBN number when ordering.The following abbreviations are used in the scale field. Please refer to the Map Scale Guide on the next page for more information about scale.K = thousand/1:100,000 M = million/1:1 millionna = scale not available var = variable scalep = pages (atlases)Please note: large-scale cartography provides more detail than small-scale cartography.
The small format High Sierra Hiking Guide Series is clearly an on-the-trail refresher series. For day hikers and 'packers alike one of these and the appropriate 7.5 topos will get you there and back. Most of the lyricism we expect from a Wilderness Press guide is present, though in an abreviated form due to size constraints: for the full treatment and as a home reference volume for picking potential trips (or reliving past ones) Sierra North, Sierra South and Yosemite National Park - A Natural History Guide to Yosemite and Its Trails are the way to go. These are full decription tomes where you can smell the duff and here the crunch of the granite under your boots. Imagine my horror when I got back east and found their idea of a trail guide was more a mileage marker list, I guess the complexity of the trails is an issue but I've worn my second edition Sierra South to tatters from all the rereading and my East Coast guides (White Mountains, Vermont High Trail etc.) get read to keep me from getting lost and quickly reshelved as they have no feeling. FalconGuides are a bit better but where they overlap as with Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada the Wilderness Press are far superior a read tho if all you want is distance and elevation they'll do.
