Claim maps

Submitted by admin on

I'm in the process of formatting the TOPO's and data for the claim maps. I'm making them fully interactive, so check out the claim sections. Buckshot is started but I have some more changes to do. After they are done I'll put together a tutorial to use them.

If you have any suggestions to improve the maps let me know.

I will be adding a highlighted road layer to the overlays for each claim, so don't suggest this.
