Here’s a clickable web-based map, with links to downloadable GIS data below. Map also available at: ArcGIS Wildwood (new tab). See info below the map about how to access on mobile devices with an icon arrow showing your location.
Scroll over the map to zoom. Click on a line or point for metadata, such as elevation and trail distance.
The map comes up on any mobile device browser from https://arcg.is/1CSS9v0, but greater capability can be obtained by using the free mobile app from ESRI called “ArcGIS Field Maps.” After downloading from your app store, you have the option to log in. It works without a login, but the benefit of having an account (free) is that you can save your favorite maps for instant access any time. Go here to create free account. Either way, to find the above map, search on “Wildwood Trail Forest Park” and you should see it come up. The chief benefit of using the app is that it will show you where you are and zoom the map to your location if you click the little arrow button in the upper right. (This capability does require cell network connectivity.) As you walk along any of the trails the moving dot shows where you are on the map.
credits: Many outdoor-loving volunteers helped with the land surveying required to create this map. The work was performed for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) by EarthTeam volunteers under the direction of nirtog during the decade of 2010 to 2020. The EarthTeam volunteers included Karthik Yenduru, Paul Coussens, David Huentelman, Eric Pederson, Isaac Pederson, Aaron Moore, Leslie Roma-Smith, Ameera Essaqi, Darlene Staffelbach, and Harbans Lal. (These have been listed in chronological order of their dates of service.)
