Holy Crappola.... where do we begin. First off, some great looking country side if you're into climbing hills.[8D] The map tells you everything about the lay of the land, where the ridges are, where the slopes are more gentle, which way is upstream, or up valley, how steep the hills are, easiest travel routes for deer and man, openings in the woods if the map is new enough etc etc etc. If you have NO IDEA how to read a map, do a google search for basic orienteering or map reading or both. Start there. There is not enough space on this site to lead you around this map. With terrain like this with that much change in elevation and so many hilltops etc, map reading is really easy. It gets tough when you get into flat land and contour lines never seem to change that it gets hard. I've seen all I need to see,.... I want to hunt your woods.[8D]
