Maps And Directions Using Mapquest



   A good on-line source for detailed maps and driving directions is Mapquest. For those who are unfamiliar with the Mapquest website, here are a few things that may be helpful.
   Posted for example, the images below are some snapshots of my desktop showing the use of Mapquest. At the left of the screen are control buttons that allow you to move the direction of focus and also zoom in or out in order to obtain the desired detail.
   To access these maps, I went to Mapquest Maps and in the search box labeled "Address Or Intersection" I entered: "Fm 2296 and Four Notch Road". Where it asked for City and State I entered: "Huntsville" and "TX". Then I clicked "Search".
   That is all the information that was entered to bring up the maps below.
   Driving directions can be found in a similar fashion using the Directions section. Here, fill in the "Starting Location" and "Ending Location" boxes with as much information as you know, and then near the bottom of the "Ending Location" box click on "Advanced Options". In the drop-down box that appears, click on "Shortest Distance" instead of "Shortest Time". Otherwise, you may be routed on major highways instead of back-roads and this can cause you to drive many extra miles.
   When you are through filling in information, click on "Get Directions". To get to the Mapquest Home Page click here .




Note: The two maps below show "Pine Valley" and "Barado". There is no town at either of these locations. The red star denotes the location of the search criteria; the intersection of Fm 2296 and Four Notch Road.

In the Image below, notice NF 213, off of Four Notch - Boswell Rd. This is the road that the Hunter Camp is on.
