A new first as I surpass 900 maps

Harpers Ferry Lower Town mapToday, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park gets the honored distinction of being the first historical park added to this site – eight new maps! I actually have another eight for the park coming down the pipeline, but sometimes real life gets in the way and I run out of time to do as much work as originally planned. So those will just have to wait. Edit: scratch that – I added the eight trail maps so now it’s up to sixteen.

I should clarify: there are other pages up featuring parks with a historical bent to them (Kennesaw Mountain, Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island, Bandelier…). It’s just that Harpers Ferry is the first of the designated “historical parks” I have up. A subtle distinction possibly only cared about by national park dorks? Absolutely!

That puts NPMaps at 85 map pages and 904 total maps now, after passing 800 not too long ago. Can I keep this momentum going?

Edit: thanks to backpackers.com for publishing a really nice interview with me about the site last week! I always enjoy getting a chance to talk about my project.

One thought on “A new first as I surpass 900 maps

  1. I like it! You’ve done an awesome job at collecting these maps. I only wish I knew about this site 2 years ago when I was living in the National Park rich part of the country that is the West (Colorado & Utah)
