State Sample Map Index OhioPennsylvania WashingtonMichigan Detailed Sample Map Index Columbiana County, OHTruckee, CAMt. St. Helens, WAMt. Hood, OR Please Note The maps shown here are merely samples of the far greater possibilities available using this data with appropriate software. To take full advantage of this effort a copy of DeLorme Topo USA®, Google Earth®, or comparable mapping software is required.  Downloading and importing the .dmt transfer file provided here will allow a DeLorme 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. Locations are seldom 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 could be a huge mistake.
DeLorme Users: Since the inception of this project  the bigfootreports.dmt file has been hosted at the DeLorme Community Forums . Recently DeLorme has revamped their forums and imposed a file size limitation that prevents me from posting the file there. If you wish to continue to have access to new reports as I map them in Topo USA, please join the DeLorme forums and petitiion the administrators to increase the permitted file size. If my efforts on this project resulted in your purchasing a copy of Topo USA you might also mention that fact. 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: 10 Nov 2009 Note: Generally 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®   ←  see note bigfootreports.dmt 10/07/09  bigfootreports.kmz  11/10/09 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 10/07/09  Updated  11/10/09   BFRO track sign reports 08/28/09   Updated  10/20/09   BFRO audible encounters 10/04/09  Updated  11/09/09   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 09/09/08  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 05/31/08  Included   SRI track sign reports 05/31/08 Included   TBRC creature sightings 08/11/09  Updated  11/08/09   TBRC track sign reports 07/11/09  Included     TBRC audible encounters 02/26/09  Updated  11/02/09 Tirademan archive creature sightings 10/05/09 Updated 11/10/09   Other creature sightings 07/03/09  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.  Note: The International Bigfoot Society web site was taken down in March of 2009. This means that all the links I have included to IBS reports are permanently broken. Also it appears that none of  the individual IBS report pages have been archived on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, so I am unable to re-link to them there as I did with the older TBRC reports. Fortunately the Wayback Machine has archived the state & province report indexes from the IBS site. This means that there is still a brief summary of each report available in the relevant state index. Unfortunately you will have to manually search through the state listings to find any information regarding the IBS reports I have mapped here. 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. 27 Feb 2008 - Added Ontario Sasquatch Research reports. 14 May 2008 - **Revised links for older TBRC reports.  The TBRC totally redesigned their web site earlier this year which resulted in breaking the map links for all reports mapped from the original web site. So those URLs have now been revised to link to archived web pages stored by The Wayback Machine. 01 Feb 2009 - Added Google Earth Plugin viewing capablity. 11 Aug 2010 - The International Bigfoot Society web site was taken down in March of 2009. See note above under 16 Jul 2006. 06 Aug 2009 - Began adding Tirademan's historical newspaper archive reports... approx 50% completed a/o 10 Nov 2009. Subsequent efforts will likely include: adding reports from other research organizations; preparing analytical maps by time frame and report type.
