Blue Hills Reservation, Milton, MA 02186

A massive (at least for suburban Boston) and historic State Reservation, encompassing property in five Eastern Massachusetts towns: Milton, Canton, Randolph, Quincy, and Braintree.

A weather observatory, a ski area, a covered drinking water storage tank (reservoir) for Boston, a former granite quarry, a trailside ecology museum, a pond with a beach for swimming, and miles of trails are all within the extents of this map.

This KMZ map is set to Draw Order 32 so it will show 'beneath' your primary map on your Garmin KMZ-compatible GPS.

Note that due to the wide coverage area of this map, it is actually 24 tiles. Keep that in mind when placing this on your Garmin GPS - even though this is one KMZ, the number of tiles is limited to 100 across all the KMZ files loaded on your GPS.
