Map Reading

Good Map Reading skills are essential for backwoods explorers. Use the Land Matters library and learn to understand a topographic map, how to read a compass, and how to navigate with them over the Land. You will also find tools for understanding and converting coordinate systems.

GPS

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) devices have become standard equipment for campers, hikers, hunters and other land users. They can navigate you into remote places and bring you home again. Understand their use and limitations.

GIS

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide us with the tools to make custom digital maps. The technology is now available to anyone with the desire to learn how. Land Matters will be bringing this technology to you with tutorials and guides to get you started on your way to making your own maps.
