Small Area Maps

The maps listed in the following table are too small or in some other way inappropriate to hold a normal orienteering event.  However, nearly all of them have been used for orienteering workshops for beginners or for some type of map and compass exercise.  The maps are freely available for download by clicking on the map name; all are in .pdf form.  In addition, a few of these areas have permanent orienteering courses as noted in the table.  Most of the maps should be printed on 8 1/2 by 11 paper; exceptions are noted below.

Note:  The orienteering maps that are used for WPOC events are not available for download.  You can find general information about the event maps here
