I'm in the process of formatting the TOPO's and data for the claim maps. I'm making them fully interactive, so check out the claim sections. Buckshot is started but I have some more changes to do. After they are done I'll put together a tutorial to use them.
If you have any suggestions to improve the maps let me know.
I will be adding a highlighted road layer to the overlays for each claim, so don't suggest this.
