It’s been nearly a decade since the production of the original Pennsylvania Wilds Outdoor Discovery Map, a brochure/map designed to help visitors navigate our rural region. Two versions were printed prior to 2010, but many things have changed on the ground since. PA Wilds Center embarked on developing an updated map in late 2018 — but the design team realized there was a greater opportunity to showcase key attractions, photography from throughout the region and more! That’s why the map is now an atlas!
Organized by Landscape, the PA Wilds Outdoor Discovery Atlas makes it easier than ever for users to take in the headliner experiences of our rural region. including: Allegheny National Forest and Surrounds; Cook Forest & the Ancients; Elk Country; Dark Skies; Pine Creek Valley and the PA Grand Canyon; and the I-80 Frontier.
The Outdoor Discovery Atlas will be sold in key locations throughout the region, including
