Re: [Talk-us] Reference numbers to use for hiking trail route relations

I've checked the latest topo maps from the US Forestry Service website - the trail number annotations remain but the "Pack" annotation is gone, so will delete those annotations. I've noticed that the US Topo Maps are way out of date before - whole rivers have shifted since the version that

Re: [Talk-us] Reference numbers to use for hiking trail route relations

Many of the old "pack trail" labeled features near my home-town are now overgrown and barely usable. I would be skeptical about the utility of this tag - mappers will need to survey the trail in person before suggesting that it is currently suitable for horse, mules or other pack animals. -Joseph
