     Maps are so much fun - they can help you make a 
     
     lot more sense of an area. Where does this ridge 
     
     lead? What stream does this spring become, and 
     
     where does it eventually come out into the ocean? 
     
     The map on the front page is just the north—east 
     
     portion of the Montague Watershed Area that will 
     
     be managed in a cooperative project.
