A happy update

I realize this is my first posting in quite a while, but have no fear — the site isn’t dead! As life has gotten busy, I’ve been more in “maintenance mode,” updating pages with current maps rather than creating new pages. I realize I’m a little behind, as we have two new national parks since my last update: Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is now Indiana Dunes National Park, and Jefferson Expansion National Memorial is now Gateway Arch National Park. Stay tuned!

What I’m especially pleased with is that I can finally remove this note I’ve had on the Yosemite maps page for over three years:

Please note: starting March 2016, the National Park Service renamed some locations in the park pending the settlement of a trademark lawsuit. This page and these maps continue to refer to the traditional names, as the site author has faith that the name change will only be temporary.

The court case has now been settled, so we are seeing the return of the classic place names such as Badger Pass, Curry Village, The Ahwahnee, etc. My Yosemite maps are once again accurate!

Thanks to all those who have written in with kind words over the years. It’s nice getting an affirmation every once in a while that people are finding this site useful. Thanks, and you’re welcome!
