NPS Topo Dataset? #18

Open max-mapper opened 6 years ago

max-mapper commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I am wondering if there exists a topo dataset specifically for all the national parks. I am working with the USFS FSTopo data which has things like road features and campground sites specific to the national forests, which makes it more useful for e.g. backpackers than the USGS National Map. I'm curious to learn more about other options for NPS wide topo maps suitable for backcountry navigation.

I did find the work by Thomas Colson from GSMNP https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2202873 but seems to only have been produced for GSMNP. I am also not sure what data sources these maps use (https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/DownloadFile/566511) in comparison to the equivalent USGS ones (https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/DownloadFile/566081).

Thank you for any information.
