This map of the entire A.T., hosted by the National Park Service (NPS), is an excellent map for most uses. While it would not be appropriate for detailed planning, it is detailed enough to get an idea of where to start when looking for post offices to set up food drops at or planning entry and exit points. The map includes, roads, cities, parklands, trail maintaining organizations, and water bodies. (Map Format: Adobe PDF, Size: 1.92MB)
