I want to illustrate a long trail, similar to the way you have made map sheets in Google Maps and to what Halfmile did with NG TOPO.

I looked at the " exhaustive details" page for the PCT pocket maps, so see the sources of some of the digital base maps and layers,
but was wondering if all this is done in Google Maps?
but would like to copy your basic work flow , and use the same tools you did, if you are able to share any of that with me.
...but they did have many of the trails marked that connected to the PCT. This was very nice to have.
A USGS guy told me that the digital files they provide for current topo quad layers, do not include the trails ( dashed lines on the printed maps)
..and therefore would not be on the maps you ( or anyone else) makes from these data.
Can you confirm this , that the trail lines are not on the base maps you have in your pocket maps series?
