Maps Can Cover More Than Just Roads

Oftentimes, when the word "maps" is used, one's thoughts automatically turn to road maps (even though GPS devices are rapidly replacing these.) But in the case of Birmingham, the word "maps" means a whole lot more.

The Birmingham, Mich., website offers a link to different types of maps that have to do with specific areas and even functions within the city. These include such things as maps of the walking and biking trails in and around the city, maps of homeowners associations (which can show where "gated" or "deed-restricted" communities are located), and other useful maps.

The maps can be downloaded and printed by going to http://ci.birmingham.mi.us/index.aspx?page=1176 and clicking on the map category that interests you.
