Middlesex Fells Reservation, Stoneham, MA 02180

Bifurcated by Interstate 93, one of the most heavily traveled highways in greater Boston, the Middlesex Fells Reservation is a vast complex of hills and reservoirs spanning five towns: Malden, Medford, Stoneham, Melrose, and Winchester.

Source Data

My KMZ map is from the Friends of the Fells map (with permission):
http://fells.org/Fells_Reservation_Map.pdf
See version history below for more info.

There is a different map available from the DCR (see link above), but I thought the Friends version was better for creating a KMZ.

 

Screenshots

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

Note that due to the wide coverage area of this map, it is actually 36 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.

All of the images below are from a Garmin GPSMAP 78sc.

This first image immediately below is with no other maps displayed.

On the next two rows of images, the image on the left is with no other map displayed while the image on the right has the Garmin 24K NE series TOPO maps displayed.
