State Sample Map Index OhioPennsylvania WashingtonMichigan Detailed Sample Map Index Columbiana County, OHTruckee, CAMt. St. Helens, WAMt. Hood, OR Note The maps shown here provide only a small sampling of the possibilities available using this data with appropriate software. A copy of DeLorme Topo USA®, Google Earth®, or comparable mapping software is required to take full advantage of this effort. Downloading and importing the .dmt transfer file provided here will allow a Topo USA user to prepare and view highly detailed maps displaying the locations of purported bigfoot activity in any US locale of interest.  Google Earth® is a  popular free mapping application that utilizes satellite imagery to create and view maps. It does require a high speed internet connection to download the imagery. Google Earth® users should download and open the .kmz file.  Both files include reports of tracks and audible encounters not shown on the regional sample maps displayed here. Text files containing the sighting coordinate data (approximate) are also provided here for export to other mapping applications. Users of this information should not assume that the locations shown are accurate. Do not assume that a location is precise enough to apply to a particular property.  The location coordinates are approximate and the margin of error will depend on the degree of precision included in the source report. Hyperlinks to the source reports are included. While some reports are located precisely, generally I believe that the typical margin of error is on the order of one mile. If the likely error is greater I have included an estimate. e.g., ~2mi, ~5mi, etc. Users of this information should respect all property rights. Disclaimer: Mangani has no affiliation with DeLorme Mapping or Google, other than as a reasonably satisfied paying customer. Anyone contemplating harm to these creatures should reconsider. Intentionally injuring or killing even one of them may be a huge mistake.
Map Data Downloads: Data is made available for use by all interested parties, with the provision that publication of this data in any manner must acknowledge the source. Data last revised: 31 Mar 2008 Note: For the most part these maps do not duplicate reports when they appear on more than one research organization web site. Generally such reports will be linked to the organizations according to the order they were mapped (see site log), though there may be some exceptions. Also, in a few cases, where unique details were noted at two different sources, duplicates have been mapped in order to provide links to these details.   DeLorme Topo USA®   Google Earth®     bigfootreports.dmt 03/31/08  bigfootreports.kmz  03/31/08 Includes: BigfootEncounters creature sightings 02/25/08  Included BigfoootEncounters  tracksign reports 02/25/08  Included  BigfootEncounters audible encounters 02/25/08  Included   BFRO creature sightings 03/30/08  Included     BFRO track sign reports 03/30/08   Included     BFRO audible encounters 03/30/08  Included     EOBIC creature sightings 07/24/05  Included   IBS creature sightings* 02/23/06  Included IBS track sign reports* 07/15/06  Included IBS audible encounters* 07/15/06  Included OBF creature sightings 01/13/08  Included OBF track sign reports 12/07/07  Included OBF audible encounters 02/11/08  Included OSR creature sightings 02/27/08  Included OSR track sign reports 02/27/08  Included   PBS creature sightings 03/31/07  Included     PBS track sign reports "  Included     PBS audible encounters "  Included     VBRO creature sightings 02/12/07  Included     VBRO track sign reports "  Included     VBRO audible encounters "  Included     SRI creature sightings 08/18/07  Included     TBRC creature sightings 03/22/07  Included     TBRC track sign reports 03/22/07  Included     TBRC audible encounters 02/09/07  Included     Other creature sightings 02/25/08  Included   Other audible encounters 11/22/06  Included WCRSO (note) audible encounters 08/04/07 Included WCRSO (note) creature sightings 08/04/07 Included WCRSO (note) track sign reports 08/04/07 Included WRSA creature sightings 01/15/08 Included WRSA track sign reports 01/15/08 Included
	Site Log: 17 Dec 2004 - Site created. 19 Feb 2005 - City names and highways removed from sample maps; central region maps added; northwestern and northeastern regional maps extended. 27 Feb 2005 - Began effort to include BFRO reports prior to 1990. 12 Jun 2005 - Substantially completed mapping the pre-1990 BFRO reports. 16 Jun 2005 - Completed hyperlinks to BFRO reports. (Hyperlink capability was not included in Topo USA when this project commenced, so a significant portion of post 1990 reports did not originally include hyperlinks to the source web site.) 20 Jun 2005 - Over 99% of BFRO reports mapped. Reorganized reports by type (creature sighting, track/sign, audible). Recompiled regional sample maps for this web site to include only BFRO reports of creature sightings. While the map data files include reports of tracks and audible encounters and sighting reports from other organizations, these have been left out of the regional maps to minimize clutter at the scale displayed. 21 Jun 2005 - Enhanced regional sample map selection to improve coverage. 25 Jun 2005 - Added links to a sample detailed maps. 04 Jul 2005 - Added all reports for Pennsylvania Bigfoot Society. 08 Jul 2005 - Added all reports for Eastern Ohio Bigfoot Information Center. 10 Jul 2005 - Added all reports for Texas Bigfoot Research Center. 24 Jul 2005 - Added all reports for Virginia Bigfoot Research Organization. 12 Feb 2006 - Added all reports for Sasquatch Research Initiative. 20 Feb 2006 - Added .kmz formatted file for viewing with Google Earth®. 26 Mar 2006 - Google Earth version enhanced to improve display clarity. 16 Jul 2006 - Completed addition of reports for the International Bigfoot Society. *Data currently include IBS reports with credibility rating of 1, 2, or 3 for all US and Canadian states and provinces.  17 Jul 2006 - Overview and sample maps updated with most recent data using DeLorme Topo USA 6. State sample maps added.  06 Nov 2006 - Added Michigan sample maps. 18 Nov 2006 - Strengthened disclaimer on approximate nature of report locations. 26 Jan 2007 - Added Google Earth overview image 18 Mar 2007 - Added valid timestamp tags for use with Google Earth 4 Timeline capability. 04 Aug 2007 - Added Western Canadian Sasquatch Research Organization reports. 09 Dec 2007 - Added OregonBigfooot reports. 15 Jan 2008 - Added Winnepeg River Sasquatch Association reports. 26 Feb 2008 - Added Bobbie Short's Bigfoot Encounters reports (now includes CA, OR, WA.) 27 Feb 2008 - Added Ontario Sasquatch Research reports. Subsequent efforts will likely include: adding reports from other research organizations; preparing analytical maps by time frame and report type.
