Map and Course Setter Notes – Sweetwater Creek State Park (Sat-Sun Classic Distance event)Individual boulders that are 1 meter high and over are represented on the map with the regular boulder symbol (black dot).The boulder cluster symbol (equilateral triangle) is used for a group of boulders (each at least 1 meter high) that are too close to map individually. The boulder field symbol (scalene triangle) is used for a group of scattered boulders that are typically at least 0.5 meter high or at least 1 meter wide. Features mapped as rides are old road beds, often so old that they are barely discernable when running across, but are usually easy to see when running along. Rides outlined with green are typically filled with small pine trees and are not runnable. Deadfall that impedes running but does not impede visibility is mapped with vertical green lines (vegetation, slow running, good visibility). Special symbols used are: • Green X (prominent vegetation feature): rootstock, at least 1 meter high • Black O: Trash/Junk pile • Black X: Man-made structure that is not trash/junk The competition maps have an abbreviated legend with just the most commonly used and relevant map symbols. A more extensive, complete map legend (as shown in the Mapper's Notes) is available to download here.
