National Geographic Trails Illustrated map 150 is a waterproof topographic recreation map of the northern Flat Tops in Colorado at 1:63,360 scale.

What it's for

Use this map to plan trips in the northern part of the Flat Tops, which the publisher describes as Colorado's second largest wilderness. It covers Oak Ridge State Wildlife Area, the North Fork White River, the Flat Tops Trail Scenic Byway, Trappers Lake, and Yamcolo and Stillwater reservoirs, with the towns of Meeker, Burns, McCoy, and Toponas.

Features

• Trails: highlighted by permitted use, with mileage between intersections
• Terrain: contour lines, shaded relief, and summit elevations
• Recreation info: campgrounds, fishing areas, whitewater access, boat launches, trailheads, interpretive sites, horse corrals, and picnic areas
• Paper: printed on Backcountry Tough waterproof, tear resistant paper
• Navigation: full UTM grid printed on the map for use with a GPS

How it works

Reading the scale: at 1:63,360, 1 in on the map equals 1 mile on the ground, which fits a large area on one sheet with less fine detail.

UTM grid: the grid lines let you read a coordinate off the paper map and match it to a GPS unit or phone set to UTM, or plot a GPS position back onto the map.
