So I saw the USGS is having a sale with certain maps for $1, so I started browsing to see if any topos I need to buy are on that list (nope). When scanning Falls Ridge, I noticed a 2012 7.5'' map and downloaded it (LINK), and low and behold, there are no trails shown on the map. The 1992 provisional map (LINK) has them, as does the 1990 provisional map (LINK). Shouldn't the USGS be making their maps better over time? Even though I would buy these maps for off-trail use, an official trail seems like a pretty important landmark to include on a map like that.
So I guess buy the 2012 map and draw in the trails from the 1992 map by hand?
