The River Maps.

Clicking one of the following links will open a google map showing the location of all the runs in MayanWhiteWater land, plus river gage and weather station locations. Yes, there are a lot of runs around here! Please be patient while your map loads, and when panning or zooming. (If your browser needs permission for the javascript, please allow it. If Google Earth asks you if you "want to stop running scripts on this page", click Yes and keep waiting. Sometimes reloading the map helps.) Option (2) does not include tracelines along the river routes, reducing the network and computional load. Try it if (1) does not load well for you. Option (3) takes you directly to maps hosted by google, split up by category and which may load even easier. Option (4) allows you to download a file suitable for viewing the markers directly on your Google Earth client (the preferred choice if you have GE but you will have to update manually). If none of these do it for you, as a last resort you can also go the Weather Underground Wundermap which has placemarkers for weather station and USGS gages only.

  1. map with all markers and tracelines and gages (wait 1-2 minutes for the "Loaded" message to appear in the middle of the map before moving around)
  2. map with only markers and gages (wait 1 minute for the "Loaded" message to appear in the middle of the map before moving around)
  3. google-hosted maps showing class 1-3 markers, class 4-5 markers in Chiapas/Belize, class 4-5 markers in Guatemala/Honduras/El Salvador, and the gages. (note: these seem to work best in Internet Explorer)
  4. .kmz file with everything, for use with Google Earth

(Note markers are color-coded: email class I, email class II, email class III, email class IV, email class V, class VI class "VI". Markers with a black star inside indicate rivers with a write-up.)

(Note streamflow gages are also color-coded: email "interesting" flow, email river is up in the last 2 days, email uninteresting flow (or uncalibrated), email only uncalibrated height readings available, email no recent flow or height readings available.

(Note rain gages are also color-coded: email means good rain yesterday, email means little or no rain yesterday, and email means recent measurements are unavailable.)

(Note further: Google labels a lot of towns/villages incorrectly)
