I couldn't find Mariba Fork, but if someone gives me coordinates or location, I can put a small icon.
Overlooked putting trail number labels and Wildcat trail. Will correct. I do have a more detailed guide for the main hiking portion of the Red. My philosphy concerning this map and the official trail network is to focus on 10+ mile loops and shuttle hikes. I like to think this map is more of a tool for a serious outdoor enthusiast rather than guide for casual hiking. Both are great but the later is already published.

I realize that there are already other resources for hiking trails. Now that I can look at your map, I will try to cross-reference with my own marked-up topos. My question with the small, lesser known climbing areas, is whether you want everything or just those places considered significant. Anyone else have any input on this. Also I noticed that you have Pocket Wall shown but with the notation that it is closed. Should other climbing restrictions be indicated on the map such as seasonal and other closures?

Just got back from a hike with the dog: Gladie up to Lost Branch and down to Tower Rock. Equestrians are using Clifty and even a few atvs.
For the lesser-known crags I think the more shown outside of the geological area the better. With the LAC focusing on just the geological area and the clifty wilderness (I could be wrong), any area that provides a pressure-value relief on use in the core gorge area can only help, I hope.
As for the exact crags mapped, with or without accompanying info, I defer to the experienced climbers of the red. We could have a "historic crag" symbol or rank them by estimated traffic or leave out areas with less than 5 routes or use/combine other criteria...
