Allegheny Trail (#701) on Google Maps

Allegheny Trail kml is based on the Monongahela National Forest trails data. The number of vertices (and level of detail) in the file has been reduced for display on Google Maps. Accuracy is probably around 200′+/-. Also worth noting are route changes that are detailed on the West Virginia Scenic Trails Association website. This map doesn’t reflect those reroutes.

Displayed here (using ZeeMaps) is the Monongahela National Forest trail network. The kml data for this map was introduced in another post (download it here: Download: MNF Trails KML - Format: .kmz - Size: 1.08 MB). The data definitely contains numerous inaccuracies and the tedious process of making corrections will be ongoing… If you notice specific errors in the data, you can post a comment or drop me an email and I’ll endeavor to make the corrections. Enjoy!
