Beverly Commons, Beverly MA 01915

 

Location Information

A combination of parcels owned by both the Town of Beverly and the Essex County Greenbelt, Beverly Commons offers an oasis of woodlands just south of busy Route 128. A network of trails and carriage paths offers ample opportunity for exploration. But don't confuse this Beverly Commons with the Beverly Commons apartment complex!

iPhone / Android / Google Map Links

<not possible>

Google Maps does not support rotated KMZ files, and to get this map to properly align to the world, I needed to rotate the map to make the KMZ file. So, unlike some other of my KMZ maps, this one cannot be displayed in Google Maps. 

 

Screenshots

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 4 tiles. Keep that in mind when placing this on your Garmin GPSr - even though this is one KMZ, the number of tiles is limited to 100 across all the KMZ files loaded on your GPS (or 500 tiles if you are using a Garmin Montana GPSr).

The images below are all from a Garmin GPSMAP 78sc. The image on the left is with no other maps displayed. The image on the right has the Garmin 24K NE series TOPO maps displayed.

It would also include inaccessible conservation land within the boundaries, such as a buffer zone of "Do not enter" land around a reservoir.
