There is someone who frequents this newsgroup and offers
maps for your area:
http://home.att.net/~amchitka/index.html
His maps of California (the ones I've seen)
are pretty poor because of over-generalization
(maps which mark out an area of hundreds of
square miles and says "look here" is worse than
useless). However, in the Virginia and surrounding
area he does seem to exhibit some knowledge.
I'd suggest looking at what he has to offer and
asking others in your area if his offering shows
any earmarks of validity, such as describing
"exact" locations without any "bull**** factor."
You should receive information such as Steve
has supplied and not some vague suggestions.
Good luck.
