If you are interested in these potential greenways and water trail opportunities, the maps titled “Greenway Opportunities” and “Potential Water Trails” in the MAPS folder are a good place to start. These maps are PNG images, viewable in Microsoft Office Picture Manager or similar image viewing software.
If you are interested in the criteria used to establish these potential greenways and blueways, the map titled "Hydric Features" provides an overview of hydrological features of the region. Also, the Keyhole Markup Language (KLM) files in the folder MAP LAYERS_KLM provide information on additional features that were taken into consideration. For more information on using these files, please see the README file in the MAPS and KLM folder.
