2006 trailmap for Black Rock completed...
Earlier this month, we wrapped up design of the new trailmap for Black Rock. This was a project I've been working on (off and on) since March for BRMBA.
Involved several trips down the trails with GPS to capture the tracks...
Then, using Adobe Photoshop to overlay the GPS tracks on a topomap.
Worked with a graphic design artist to add the "professional" look/feel - and got ongoing feedback from the trail managers and some of the users throughout the project.
All of the current (and some of the proposed) trails are shown on the map along with major features (such as dirt jumps and wooden drops/stunts).
The final result? A waterproof, professional-looking, printed tri-fold map for sale (for $7 donation) at local bike shop and grocery store in Falls City:
(actual printed version is crisp and clear - this is sample only...)
There's also larger 11" x 17" printed versions of the map which are hanging in several bike shops around town as well as in the window of the grocery store in Falls City.
