The maps for 909, Stewart and Jockey Hill are pretty much done. There may be minor updates during this year, but we are moving on to other areas. The trail names at Jockey Hill may not all be correct; it is hard to make a correspondence with the hand drawn map, which doesn't fit too well with what is on the ground. The maps are available at http://thomannengineering.com/mtnbike/ along with maps for many other areas. Will try to get Lippman Park done this year

909's not done, you still dont have Fisher, Gut Loop or Green Acres bottom as I mentioned before.
The ratings seem helpful.
Daniels Road looks good, & well done wording. Moreau would be helpful, especially if you got the switchback up that is otherwise unmapped yet vital.

Fancy map!

It is illegal & crosses private property (like many of the trails on the Jockey Hill map), but you missed Bear! (and Straightshot too, but who wants to ride that anyway?)

Also, looks like CTE is labeled as Kneecap & Kneecap is labeled as Guanania? May want to reference this map (although this has Bear before a reroute):

p.s. For the record, only "legal" trails on the Jockey side or Moray Hill Rd are Q-man, Wintergreen and Kevin Young's Bloob Trail.

It's been done before and the existing data is far superior.

ok, will go back to 909 and look for Fisher, Gut Loop and Green Acres. We have had trouble finding some of the trails. Will look for Bear at Jockey Hill also. I have a map of Moreau Lakes, actually I built the northern part of the ridge trail that overlooks the Hudson. I will have to be sure it is currently accurate and then will put it up. Thanks for the comments.

post a heads up when you come, most likely someone can meet you and help you find the missing trails!

Any chance you'll share the source GPS files or contribute this to Open Street Maps?
