Source Data

Oddly enough, the PDF map of area is not officially posted (at least as best as I can tell as of today). My KMZ map is from a scan of the map I found on this forum:

Screenshots

This KMZ map is set to Draw Order 32 so it will show 'beneath' your primary map on your Garmin KMZ-compatible GPS.

Note that due to the wide coverage area of this map, it is actually 4 tiles. Keep that in mind when placing this on your Garmin GPSr - even though this is one KMZ, the number of tiles is limited to 100 across all the KMZ files loaded on most Garmin GPSr models (500 tiles if you have a Garmin Montana or Oregon 600 series).

The images below are all from a Garmin GPSMAP 78sc. The image on the left is with no other maps displayed. The image on the right has the Garmin 24K NE series TOPO maps displayed.
