NCNST through the Kellogg
Biological Station
Here is a map or aerial image (your
choice!) showing the track of the North Country
National Scenic Trail through Michigan State University's W. K. Kellogg Biological Station in
Kalamazoo County.
Note the following regarding this
map:
-
The red
track shows the entire pathway of the NCNST through KBS.
-
The
green track shows road up to the new barn housing KBS's
new robotic milking system. According to plans, this will be a
future spur from the Trail whereby hikers will be able to walk up to the
barn and get a view of the robotic milking system in operation.
The Trail through KBS is entirely
off-road (except where it crosses vehicular roads). At Baseline
Road the NCNST becomes a roadwalk connector trail heading west on Baseline and then north
into Barry County.
By playing with the drop-down menus in the upper right corner of the map image
you can
-
tone down the background layer
to better visualize details on the ground, and
-
select different background
layers, including a Google Satellite image, a USGS topo map, a Google terrain map,
an ArcGIS World topo map, or a plain-jane Google Street map. Scroll the image to the right if necessary to activate the
background layer selection menu
By using the map tool in the upper
left corner you can also zoom in or out, and you can drag
the image to change the center point. Zooming in, then click 'n dragging
the map in whichever direction you want, makes it easier to make sense of the
marked waypoints, which in places are a bit bunched together otherwise.

the Trail.
