(.pdf, 1mb) Created by long-time volunteer and computer wizard Karen Pausell, it has been five years in the making. Karen began by using the map created by Janet Sowers for the Oakland Museum's creek map of Oakland and Berkeley. One of her original goals was to get an accurate trail map that it would provide a basis for mapping the rare plants of the watershed. She set her GPS into "track mode" on seed collecting hikes. Where things just didn't look right, intrepid Karen walked into the deep ravines of the watershed and added new creek segments that have year-round water! Any effort this complex takes lots of help. Karen developed a park map for the Joaquin Miller Park Working Group and received very useful feedback that shaped her final map overlays. GreenInfo Network to transfer the data into Adobe Illustrator format and her friend Louis Jaffe volunteered a tremendous amount of work to make the map look beautiful and prepare it for offset printing of 5,200 maps. The Friends of Sausal Creek are grateful to these volunteers for "putting us on the map" and to Tyko Cvar for "putting us out there." Tyko, an Eagle Scout, built and installed 10 map boxes. They donated the labor and materials allowing us to print more maps than budgeted. Now we're just hoping it will recruit folks to help FOSC maintain the trails! Hopefully more people will be encouraged to explore less familiar parts of the watershed—there's much of interest. And hopefully people will read "Keeping Creeks Healthy" and do their own part to support Sausal Creek. Thanks to the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program for funding the printing of this map!
