This map update addresses two issues in the September 2013 Sinking Springs map edition:
-
A road on the map is named incorrectly. About midway between Pt 19 and 20 on the Sinking Spring Section Map, a road heading west is labeled “Louisville Rd C15”. The correct label should read “May Hill Rd C15C”. While the text did use the correct name for the road, the county designation is a shortened version. It should read “C15C”.
-
The owners of the campsite adjacent to Serpent Mound State Memorial request advance notification before its use. An updated version of CAMPING FACILITIES is shown below. Please substitute this copy for that shown in the 2013 edition.

The location of all campsites, that are known to BTA and are within reasonable walking distance of the trail, are shown on the Section Maps.
