Neat looking place. but looking reminds me of another thing I have *frequently* done all through my misspent youth..

You have cutblocks and forestry activity there.

My favorite "maps" in such areas are cutblock maps or air photos. - and google earth at least in your area has enough to let me distinguish forest type from the pics (it does a lot of the places I go to..)

I can (and still freqently do) navigate on such a map by the type, size, shape and orientation of the cutblocks, or of the forest cover. (how big, and what type of trees) You'd be surprised how well you can do looking at the likes of an air photo or the like - once you get a little experience doing it.

So there you pretty much have how *I* navigate in such situations with a good map/photo and compass.
