I just joined this site and downloaded a topo map fpr CT and am trying to figure out how to locate a reservoir and see the details. But have had no luck. I'm missing something. I am tring to use this gps when I go kayaking.
Thanks for any help givin,
mr-bill
do you have the co-ords for the lake?
no, how do Igo about getting them?
Try here: http://libremap.org/data/state/connecticut/
I was able to locate it on the topo map that I downloaded from this site. The location is
N 41 deg. 54.907' W 072 deg 41.656'.
When I zoom in I thought I would get more detail on the water depths and surrounding terrain.
That would be NE topo by JohnM ?
There is not much lake depth (nor trail) data available for free - so little or nothing to use to build mapsets. The NE topo mapset used USGS NHD hydro data (from 24K topo maps) - so the detail on shorelines should be about the best there is. The mapset used a 20' contour interval throughout the 48 States so it is somewhat under contoured for CT. He also used an elevation grid with 1/9 of the values other map authors are using so the landform detail is more general.
