MAP - Using USGS topo data, high resolution orthophotos, and DEC land use maps as base materials along with actual field surveys a detailed topographical map of the competition area was produced entitled тАЬSouth PharsaliaтАЭ. The scale is 1:30,000 with a 5-meter contour interval and is printed with a color laser printer. A select set of mapping standards are used; i.e. to Orienteers the amount of detail will be less than the average orienteering competition map but, to the typical hiking enthusiast this map will have substantially more detail than the general USGS maps commonly available.
Entry fee $45/person.
