Why it works

New River Gorge is one of the premier rock climbing destinations in the eastern US, with hundreds of routes on the Endless Wall and surrounding sandstone cliffs that require accurate approach trail mapping. The park's whitewater sections attract paddlers who need river access and rapid detail. The gorge's complex terrain — with trails descending steeply from the rim to the river — requires detailed topographic mapping for safe navigation. Waterproof construction survives West Virginia's frequent rain and the humidity common in the gorge.
