Title: National Geographic On Line Map and Elk County
Post by: Leonardcrl on April 21, 2009, 01:31:51 PM
I am a map nut so forgive me for bringing this.  But National Geographic Magazine (http://maps.nationalgeographic.com/maps) has a online map that I believe is much better than for local coverage than the Google Maps of Map Quest.  When I checked it out there were two items that I believe Elk Countians may find appealing. 

Just in case you missed it.  8)

The only problem is that those road names are the old names.

The county's street signs all have the new designations.

Neither Microsoft nor Delorme applications have the new names either.

I think it has been almost ten years since the roads were renamed.

Thanks Carl, I am always trying to find roads in and out of Gas Wells in Arkansas. I use Google a lot but sometimes the resolution is so low it is difficult to tell.

Hee, hee... it doesn't matter if the road names are wrong... most of the rural road signs are stolen, knocked down, etc most of the time anyway...
