Latitude 40° Maps offers
the most visually sophisticated recreation maps
available anywhere. Focussing on the splendor of
the Colorado mountains and drama of Utah's canyon
country, Latitude 40's maps employ digital cartography,
shaded relief, and on-the-ground ground-truthing to reveal
the glory of landscape and the intricacy of
route-finding.
Whether you're a wilderness hiker, a mountain bike adventurer,
a equestrian explorer, or a fully-outfitted jeeper,
you will find these maps the perfect,
user-friendly guide to your journeys. Covering the full breadth of the most important
destinations, Lat 40 maps include topographic contour lines, recommended routes,
public access trail and road information, and explanatory notes. Latitude 40° prints
on waterproof, tear-resistant plastic stock. These artistic documents feature
either double-sided maps, or a reverse side filled with verbal route descriptions
and
route elevation/distance profiles.
For each and every map, these seasoned cartographers devote countless hours consulting
with local governing agencies and public interest groups to ensure accuracy.
They travel the routes with GPS (Geographic Positioning System) receivers,
translating
the truth of the ground into the symbols of mapping.
