[ILQSO] Scouting County Lines

[Jim Gelbort]

All-

If you're scouting for a county line operating location for next year, 
check out this link-

This resource combines online mapping with high res satellite photography. 
You can literally look for that wide spot in the road or see how close the 
power lines are. Too bad the Iraqis and North Koreans can access this site.

For those who find the Illinois Atlas & Gazetteer a bit imprecise, there is 
always the Census Bureau's listing of definitive county boundaries-

You'll need your GPS and a PhD. in Geography, however, to make sense out 
this data.

ILQSO was a lot of fun this year. It's nice to have cooperation from the 
progagation spirits.
See you all next year.
