Morris enlisted the help of

several people who live and work in the area to accurately develop the

map. "Technical advisors" included Peachtree City and Fayette

County employees as well as numerous residents and map makers from across

the county.

"I met lots of friendly

people while I was out on the paths trying to make sure the map was as

accurate as possible. Everyone had suggestions and encouraging words,"

said Morris.

The map is printed in full

color on a large 22 x 33 inch format, with logical folding and heavy paper.

Whereas previous maps have

been printed in two colors, the PathFinder map takes full advantage of

color technology to delineate villages, city and county boundaries, cart

and pedestrian paths, major streets and points of interest within the

county. The maps also feature some local history and a resource and telephone

listing.

Peachtree City's five

villages are color coded with red cart paths throughout, making it easy

to keep track of where you are. Colorful icons pinpoint major freeway

crossings, schools, boat docks, fire stations and sports complexes. A

dalmatian identifies the location of Peachtree City's proposed dog

park. Designated walking paths are illustrated in green.

County neighborhoods with paths

leading into Peachtree City are included, as are the nearly nine miles

of Tyrone paths.

"I'm very pleased

with this first effort for a quality map. From the feedback I've

received so far, I'm pretty sure folks will welcome this change,"

said Morris.

The map retails for $6.50.

In addition to the library, it is available at City Hall in Peachtree

City and select retailers. Morris notes that the map is available as a

fund-raising vehicle for area non-profit groups.

In early 2004, Morris will

publish the Peachtree PathFinder Guide Book, a 50-page guide to the Fayette

County recreational paths. This spiral-bound, "laptop" guide

is a comprehensive reference for all things related to the recreational

paths and those who use them.

The PathFinder Guide Book features

a series of larger, pull-out maps focusing on specific geographic areas

with increased detail. Special sections include Path Etiquette, a Teen

Driver Checklist, Golf Cart Buying Guide, Cart Maintenance & Insurance,

Local History and Peachtree Trivia. The 5 x 8 format with coil binding

makes it very user-friendly while out on the paths.
