Mapping the MRT…Itasca to Bena

I’ve decided to try to actually map out the MRT according to the guide I have. I’m only posting the first section here, you’ll have to get the book itself to get the full route.

So far it’s a bit more difficult than I’d imagined. I’m working in MapMyRide which I support as a premium member. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to do a great job mapping county roads. The roads are there but they are hard to identify. Google Maps is, oddly, no better. For this job it seems MapQuest is best choice. Thus I find I’m moving back and forth, checking the route on MapQuest, then going to MapMyRide and doing the actual plotting.
So I finished the first section, but I’ve no idea if it’s actually correct according the guide, though it seems pretty close. I’ll have to see what happens when I start hitting some of the real tiny roads down the path.
As I said, I’m not going to post each section on my blog, just go buy the book! I do hope I can find someone who’s already done all the work though.
Aloha!
