Order 01-09-08 My interpretation of the map

mattmaxon · Post by **mattmaxon** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 8:23 am

I took the legal description and made a map showing MY interpretation of the updated closure order # 01-09-08

The map they released is shit, you can't see a thing, the legal description is just that...In decipherable garbage

I'd appreciate you looking at this and see if I need to make any corrections

Thanks
Matt

I,m not able to open this.

I get an Adobe message saying that the file is corrupted or is not a supported file type.

Hints? Anybody-----Matt??

I've had no luck getting anything to recognize the file too.

Matt, can you convert this to a PDF file? That way everyone can look at it and blow it up?

Thanks

No shit.

Neither Google Earth or GPSVisualizer can do anything with it. They both are supposed to handle GPX.

Anyway, thanks for the map!

Nice work Matt, thanks for changing that over, now everyone can see fairly clearly how much area was affected/effected (always mixed those two words), let's all hope they can stop the "Sheep Fire" before the winds change directions, that would ugly fast

I couldn't get NG Topo to import it either. Thanks for the alternate version.

At the rate that the Sheep fire is expanding, I fear that this map will soon be out of date. If you are planning any hikes in the ANF open area, do them soon.

Matt,

Thanks for converting this.

Now that I can see in detail the extent of the closure I feel a wee bit nauseated

Some of my favorite mountain bike routes are closed even though they were not part of the burned area

From the city of Sierra Madre (which controls the gates):

Bailey Canyon, Mt. Wilson Trail, Road to Chantry Open
Saturday, Oct. 3
The US Forest Service has opened the unburned area of the Angeles National Forest above the City of Sierra Madre; therefore Bailey Canyon, Mt. Wilson Trail and the road up to Chantry Flats are open to the public. In compliance with Order No. 01-09-08, Area Closure Angeles National Forest, all burn areas are strictly off limits and not to be entered. For details, please read Order No. 01-09-08. Public safety officials encourage the public to use care when entering in the wilderness areas which are now open.
