Above the Timber

Above the Timber's high resolution topographic maps of New Mexico coupled with any Garmin mapping GPS receiver bring maps into the 21st Century. No longer do you have to locate physical landmarks and triangulate your position via map and compass, a tedious and error prone procedure. Your Garmin GPS does all that for you . . . instantly.

Each Above the Timber New Mexico map is actually four separate maps, unlike paper maps or most electronic maps. Even some Garmin compatible GPS maps lack this feature. This 4-in-1 construction is a huge advantage on a small screen handheld GPS, but even on your PC monitor you will appreciate this feature.

The High Resolution Water Data is what makes the New Mexico maps stand out. Most vector maps only have named water features, named lakes and streams. For every named water feature, their are 100-unnamed water features. To the extent possible with USGS water feature databases, ALL unnamed water features are on these maps. We're talking beaver pond resolution!!!  Additionally, most New Mexico rivers are shown at their true extent, bank to bank, not just a line indicating river.

New Mexico has over 80 Wilderness, Wilderness Study, Primitive and Wild & Scenic River Areas from National Forest, National Parks and BLM. All provide a non-motorized experience and share Above the Timber's unique light buff area color for quick identification and high contrast object viewing. Simply hover over the base map in the portion of New Mexico of interest to quickly find a wilderness to explore.

The New Mexico maps cover the entire state at the 24,000:1 map scale. Equivalent to a single border-less paper map of over 60 feet on each side.

Each map segment covers an area of 30 x 30 minutes of arc or exactly 16 - 7.5 minute Quad Maps. These map segments seamlessly join one to another, therefore you can have all of New Mexico as one seamless map inside your GPS receiver.

While great effort was expended in data collection and presentation, Above the Timber assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of these maps. Therefore, the user/purchaser assumes all responsibility for any errors in these maps.
