[nysbirds-l] Green-Wood Cemetery Birding Map
In an attempt to make navigating Green-Wood Cemetery a little bit easier, I modified the existing official map which is available on the cemetery's website here: http://www.green-wood.com/map-of-green-wood-cemetery Using a pair of 1855 and 1901 maps, which shows the names of the various landforms, i.e. ridges, hills and valleys, I overlaid these landmarks on the current map. My reasoning was that most birders haven't a clue what the names of the roads and paths are in places like Central Park and Prospect Park, but they do know the geographic labels. The file is very large (6279×7316 pixels) so if you have access to a large format printer, it should look very good. Download the full-sized map here: http://tinyurl.com/bskxy7q I hope to add more birding specific hotspot labels in future versions.
