Made by the people who build the trails, this map set features more than 230 miles of marked trails within more than 30 parks, including more than 45 miles of the Highlands Trail, the 20-mile-long Four Birds Trail, and portions of the Morris Canal Greenway.  Major park areas covered by the maps include Pyramid Mountain, High Mountain Park Preserve, Allamuchy Mountain State Park, Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, and the Farny Highlands.

This revised edition includes several updates to trails, including relocations and revised blaze colors and trail alignments in most of the parks covered by the map set.  Several newly-protected parklands have been added, including some that have new trails as well, and some trail routes have been improved with recent GPS surveying by volunteers.  Many additional minor corrections and changes have also been made, making this new edition of the Jersey Highlands Trails: Central North Region map set even more accurate than before.

Additional map features include 20-foot contour lines, parking areas, scenic viewpoints, and other points of interest.  As always, the maps are available in print format in vibrant color on waterproof, tear-resistant Tyvek.
