There is one trail leading from Locke Pond going uphill to Edwards Drive which I do not include because it is actually just on the Winchester side of the Lexington border and not in Whipple Hill.<br /><br />You can see the border marker stone in the upper right of the map.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06522308458633630577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78908102609234366.post-81611149735304122902010-06-10T01:06:40.390-04:002010-06-10T01:06:40.390-04:00thanks for the map. i had no idea there was a hid...thanks for the map. i had no idea there was a hidden trail head at the intersection of Summer and Lowell streets!! <br /><br />I agree with what you said about not including the Locke Farm Conservation Area (Winchester). <br /><br />Yes, your map is incomplete. East of Locke Pond there are two paths heading up the hill toward Edward Drive. These are noted on the Lexington Conservation Commission map:<br />http://www.lexingtonma.gov/conservation/Conservation%20Land%20Maps/Whipple%20Hill.pdf<br /><br /><br />But your map is far more informative (and readable). It seems Lexington's Conserv department's map of Whipple Hill and Winchester Conserv's guide to Locke Farm Conserv Area ARE BOTH HAND DRAWN!!!<br /><br />http://www.winchestermass.org/images/guide10.gifEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78908102609234366.post-49822758208620506662009-10-18T15:08:01.741-04:002009-10-18T15:08:01.741-04:00I didn't include the section you mention on th...I didn't include the section you mention on the map because it is actually not a part of the Whipple Hill Conservation area. It lies in Winchester. The farm has been partially taken over by a developer so eventually there may be more houses on that land.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06522308458633630577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78908102609234366.post-5532331041305185892009-10-17T23:28:36.028-04:002009-10-17T23:28:36.028-04:00Thanks for this one, too.

A number of new homes have been built and several are obviously not inhabited yet. It would be nice to see this section, including the wetlands NE of the pond, on the map.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984119255080283115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78908102609234366.post-35544213739426545742009-07-12T21:02:42.855-04:002009-07-12T21:02:42.855-04:00Thanks, David, for your comments.

I'll look into adding them.<br /><br />However, the<i> ConCom</i> map also seems to be missing some trails. For example, a route from Whipple Hill to the Summer St. parking area near the llama farm.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06522308458633630577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78908102609234366.post-54858144702702697412009-07-12T16:26:42.184-04:002009-07-12T16:26:42.184-04:00Nicely done map showing contours.
