Note:  The red line is a very simplified version of the AT route.  End of the club's trail maintenance sections are marked.  This map has also been used to review where invasive species are located and older trail deficiencies for some internal efforts.  
Note:  Google Maps shows an older, simplified version of the AT route on its maps.  Current red line was measured after the relocations were made, thus a better representation.
