Clear Creek Maps

Maps 1-5 were posted on the BLM web site prior to the release of the latest EIS.  They show all of the routes considered in the EIS.  There are a number of routes that have not been GPSed so they don't appear on these maps.  Clear Creek is broken into five parts or regions, Northwest, Southwest, Northeast and Southeast and the far eastern area north and south of Spanish Lake.  Click on the region you wish to view and the link will open a PDF file.  These are large files, ~5-6MB, so they may take a while to load.
