map of Hazzard

[RogerDuke]

I am new to the Hazzardnet (and have little computer skills but I'm learning). I'm excited about figuring out how to navigate this website and meet people who love Hazzard County as much as I do. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has ever put together a map of Hazzard? I did it when the show was first out but now that I have all 7 years on DVD I can get a much more accurate map because I won't miss any episodes and I can "rewind" something if I didn't hear it clearly. I am watching every episode and keeping a notebook of the following catagories 1)residents 2)businesses 3)roads 4)landmarks 5)water 6)neighboring counties 7)other misc. When I've seen all the episodes, I plan on putting together a huge map of Hazzard County with all of those items on it. Of course, there are inconsistencies that I've run accross but I'll work them out somehow. I'm sure I'm not the first one to come up with this idea but I'd love to hear from others who have. RogerDuke

[BoJamesDuke]

Well i've never done it but have had the idea for it because it would be interesting to see done. Like the Smallville interactive map that was done by the WB it really gives you an idea of what the place is like :-) Good idea and if you need a hand then gimme a shout and i'll be glad to help.

[RogerDuke]

Some of the inconsistencies can be difficult to deal with. For example, on "The Runaway", Mabel Tillingham says the Dukes live on Mill Pond Road which is 18 miles from Hazzard. Two episodes later, Lester Crabb (Treasure of Hazzard) says they live on Mill Road. For my map, I'm going with Mill Pond Road because I trust the phone operator more than a visiting sheriff that was only there one episode and probably left a word out. Also, "Mill Pond" is mentioned in other episodes. Speaking of inconsistencies, Mabel Tillingham is listed as Myrtle Tillingham on the closing credits. I'll trust the folks of Hazzard more than the credits on that one.

[BoJamesDuke]

Well I've also heard it named Old Mill Road too...well its all got Mill in it somewhere so maybe the folks of Hazzard just have different nicknames for it that all. Because of Mill Pond though I'd have to go with Mill Pond Road too :-)

[RogerDuke]

After watching the first two seasons I have recorded this many items in my quest to put together the ultimate map of Hazzard County
Residents-62 (Homes and not individuals)
Businesses-54
Roads-49
Landmarks-14 (Canyons, mountains, mines, etc)
Water-22 (Swamps, creeks, ponds, lakes etc)
Other Counties-20 (Includes other towns too)
5 more seasons to go !!!!

[Lukas_KD]

You can't really count other towns as other counties, you know. There's multiple towns in a county - in fact, more than just Hazzard in Hazzard County. You have to figure out which towns are in which counties. If you can figure out directions, east-west-etc for places, you can kinda figure out which towns belong to which counties if they aren't specified in the show.

And don't forget that Chickasaw and Choctaw actually seem to be the same county - ie, Sheriff Little's territory. I usually go with Chickasaw as the name because it was used more often. I think Choctaw was used once or twice.

[RogerDuke]

You are right. I should have worded it "other counties and towns" so you could tell I intend to distinguish it on my map. It is very difficult to tell if a town is in Hazzard County or not if the show doesn't specify that it is. If the town is large I figure it's not in Hazzard County. That's just one of the problems I have to deal with. I'm sure if all Dukes fans made a map, they'd all look a lot different. I see in season 3 some businesses are in different locations in town and some have left completely and turned into other things. I guess in that case, I have to go with the most current version and conclude that there is change everywhere....even in Hazzard.

[Lukas_KD]

Yeah, I've noticed that about the businesses, some of them anyway. I guess some change makes sense.

[RogerDuke]

Speaking of which, change can be extra confusing in Hazzard. The "Furniture Mart" turned into Seth M Berley & Company in season 3 and later in season 3 (Uncle Boss) it turned back into the Furniture Mart. "Uncle Boss" is also one of the episodes in which Daisy's yellow car returns after being destroyed in season 2. Well, old Waylon said it many times...anything can happen in Hazzard. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

[RogerDuke]

After loooking at "Episodes", I found a post by EnosFan (from 3-8-07) that said that "Uncle Boss" was filmed in season 2 but aired in season 3. That clears things up. Thanks a lot EnosFan. I'm gone.

[Enos Fan]

Glad I could help, but it's no great credit to me, I simply store useless trivia the way squirrels store nuts. :)

[RogerDuke]

When it comes to "Dukes of Hazzard" there is no useless trivia. It's all important to us. As Rosco would say, "I love it. I love it. I love it." I'm gone.

[BoJamesDuke]

Dont forget to include Osage County and the infamous Oasge County Prison :- Poor ol' Bo and Luke getting put in there, makes my heart thump painfully everytime.

[RogerDuke]

I know what you mean about painful. That was a rough place. The prison boss there was also the drug ring leader in "Mason Dixon's Girls". Of course there was enough time between those two episodes that not many people would notice that they cast the same actor to be a drug lord and prison warden. Watching that episode makes me appreciate Rosco. Thank goodness Hazzard County has fun lawmen (and women...Daisy was a deputy once). I'm gone.

What the guy that play Bull on Night Court was on Duke, he played one of the Beaudry's. And later he was on Smallville he played a real mean guy and Jonathon had to deal with him again but a more diplmatic way.

[RogerDuke]

Well, I'm into the fourth season now of marking down things for my map. (see previous threads). This thing is going to be huge. Maybe I could talk my wife into letting me use one of the living room walls to draw it on. LOL

[RogerDuke]

Here's some interesting trivia for us Hazzard County mapmakers. The episode "Dukescam Scam" mentions 11 bodies of water!!! To give you a perspective of how that is a lot...all 5 of the Georgia episodes did not mention a single body of water.

[RogerDuke]

Here's a mapmaking problem I've come into that I'd like to run by my fellow Hazzardites. In "Birds Gotta Fly" from season 4, Boss is traveling from Capitol City to Atlanta and encounters two seperate road signs that say he is traveling north and has 110 more miles to get there. Since Capitol City is likely close to Hazzard this seems to be inconsistent with Hazzard being north of Atlanta near the Tennessee line. I think I'm going to ignore those signs and chalk it up to a writing error unless someone else has any information otherwise. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

[RogerDuke]

After recording items from the first 4 seasons, here is the number of things I have so far in my quest to make the ultimate map of Hazzard County.
Residents (homes, not individuals) - 117
Businesses - 104
Roads - 112
Water (creeks, lakes, swamps, ponds, rivers, etc) - 56
Landmarks (canyons, caves, mountains, bridges, hollows, etc) - 124
Other Counties (towns, counties, other Bosses and sheriffs) - 44
In addition, there have been 15 Country Music stars that appeared on the show as of the first 4 seasons.
I'm pretty excited about this map. I'll probably start putting it on paper (a very large poster board) in the fall. It is my dream to display it at the next DukesFest. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

[DaisyMaeDuke]

Wow...this is cool.

[RogerDuke]

In my efforts to gather items to make the ultimate map of Hazzard County (and town), here are my final totals after watching all 7 seasons.
Residents (homes, not individuals) - 185
Businesses - 161
Roads - 154
Water (creeks, lakes, swamps, ponds, etc) - 73
Landmarks (canyons, caves, mountains, bridges, hollows, etc) - 168
Neighboring counties (including towns, bosses and sheriffs) - 67
I realized at the start of season 5 that I could use closed-captioning to check on spelling so I'll have to rewatch the first 4 seasons to recheck some things (*grins and yells "Yes!!!"). Unfortunately there are a lot of errors on closed-captioning so I'll have to use some discretion. I gotta go...Now where'd I put that poster board?..I'm gone!!

[DaneyDuke]

Right now on ebay, there are two maps from the show.
One is going for 34.99 and the other is 8.99 - it is a copy of the one that was used in "The Great Hazzard Hijack" and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Duke".

[RogerDuke]

Hmmm....I'm wondering who made them.... Readable maps (thank goodness for pause buttons) appeared on the following episodes.
Farewell Hazzard
Boss Behind Bars
Cool Hands Luke 'n Bo
Randsom of Hazzard County
Double Dukes
Treasure of Soggy Marsh
I do have another map but I don't have the episode listed with it. It lists Chocktaw County and Hatchapee County bordering Hazzard County to the west near Hard Labor Creek.

[redneck woman]

Wasn't there a map on Days of Shine and Roses when Boss and Uncle Jesse have their race? It seems like Cooter pulled out a map and they showed a close up. I haven't seen that episode in a while though, I'll have to watch it again.:wink:

[RogerDuke]

Thanks Redneck Woman, I think you're right. That's the one I had listed on the bottom two lines of my last post. I think I remember Cooter mentioning Hard Labor Creek. They have to cross into Hatchapee County and face Emmitt "Spike" Loomis. Some of the other landmarks I have on that map are Willet Bridge, Miller's Swamp, Pine Hollow Road and Calico Junction. They take Route 104 to get there. Choctaw County is north of Hatchapee County on that map. Does this sound right to you? Thanks for helping me match the episode to the map. Possum on a gumbush. I'm gone.

[redneck woman]

Wow Roger Duke, good memory, you sure remember more than I do! I know they went thru Hard Labor Creek into Hatchapee County to face Sheriff Emmett "Spike" Loomis, but that's about all I remember. You're welcome for the help and good luck with your map.

[RogerDuke]

This is interesting. From "Treasure of Hazzard" (season 2) when Jesse was going through the Duke family Bible, his ancestors refered to "Hazzard" in 1762. Yet in "Go West Young Dukes" from season 7, it was called Sleepy City in 1872 (110 years later). Since the idea of writer error doesn't sit well with me, I'm trying to figure out if Hazzard changed to Sleepy City and then back to Hazzard again or if it went by two different names for awhile. Anybody have any thoughts on this? I'm gone.

[BoJamesDuke]

Its quite possible that it was always Hazzard but got re named Sleepy City because in 'Go West Young Dukes' something was happening and all the farmers were being driven out of the town. Therefore as the town got barer and there was no one left in it, people might have re named it to Sleepy City.

[Garrett Duke]

Any of those may be true, but if you look back through the seven seasons of the Dukes, there is a lot of inconsistencies. It could just be another inconsistancy that they placed throughout the series and didn't catch as they didn't catch the others or didn't care. Just a thought. . .

Keep it between the ditches

Garrett Duke

[BoJamesDuke]

Yeah that's always a possibility, but the great thing about those inconsistencies is you can make of them what you like. Some are annoying, like Jesse's wifes names, which I firmly believe to be Lavinia but others are great for fan fic writing and speculation on what may have happened and the like.

[Garrett Duke]

Being a fan-fic writer, I agree with you on both accounts. Some are interesting to work with while others can be annoying and puzzling on how to work with the inconsitancies.

Keep it between the ditches

Garrett Duke

[BoJamesDuke]

:-) Well hey fellow fan fic writer, you on fan fiction.net?

[Garrett Duke]

;) Though I often visit fanfiction.net to look over DOH and Numb3rs fan-fic, I have never sent anything into there to be posted nor am I registered. I have my stories posted on MaryAnn's submitted fan-fic page (dukesofhazzardfanfic.com) under my other pen name of Kristy Duke. So far I have three or four stories posted there including one that I am currently writing. :)

I take it you post your stories at fanfiction.net? I will have to keep an eye out for one of your's to read. :)

Keep it between the ditches

Garrett Duke

[BoJamesDuke]

Yeah I do, my nickname there is Anakin's Girl 4eva, I have quite a few on there :)

[RogerDuke]

I was wondering if I can get one of you good folks of Hazzard to give me a hand sometime. My "R.I.P. Henry Flatt" episode (DVD) from season 2 has some problems and I can only see part of it. I would appreciate it if someone could watch it sometime and tell me what map items might be on it. It's not necessary to include any businesses in town. I did manage to get Miller's Creek Road and the Hazzard Veteran's Cemetary which is near a swamp within walking distance from the Duke Farm. Some episodes don't have a lot of map items on them so maybe this is one. I sure would be obliged if someone can check this out for me. Remember, you can use closed-captioning if you aren't sure of a spelling. Also, I know Capitol City is on this one. I DON'T need the names of any roads or businesses there. I'm gone.

[RogerDuke]

I know I haven't mentioned the progress of my map lately so here goes...
After watching the entire series and recording all the map items in a notebook (see previous posts) I decided to watch it all again and use red ink to correct any items that I may have made a mistake on or omitted. I am also using "closed captioning" to get spellings that I need as well as to understand words that were mumbled. I didn't think of that idea until the start of the fifth season last time. I have double checked the first 3 seasons and am now starting the fourth season again. I plan on actually putting the first map on poster board after the holidays. I'm sure I will end up making a few before it's perfect. One thing I do know, the final map will be big....even though I might make some small ones at first that only feature the major landmarks. I will also make a seperate map of the town of Hazzard.

[Laura Duke]

Hey, Uncle Jesse!
I just was reading this thread, and how impressive! I think that it's SO cool to make a map of Hazzard, and surrounding areas. I give you lots of credit, you put in tons of work on this, I hope to see it when it's done. I wish I could get a map of Hazzard.

I see that in October you asked someone to watch "R.I.P. Henry Flatt" Do you still need someone to watch it for you? If you do, I would be happy to do that for you.

Great job, again Uncle Jesse! Keep telling us how the map is coming along, I'm really excited about this! If there's anything else I can do, let me know! I sure would be happy to try to help you with this.

Laura Duke

[RogerDuke]

Sure Laura, I'd appreciate that. Remember you don't have to write everything that was on. Don't worry about the businesses that are shown in Capitol City because I don't need them. Also, if they're driving through the streets of Hazzard, I don't need you to write down those businesses either. Checking a previous post and looking at the catagories I listed will give you an idea of what I'm trying to accomplish...I suspect you've already done that. Remember, closed caption can help with spelling but it has been known to be inaccurate at times. Fortunately, this is the only episode I need help with. Thanks again Laura.

[Laura Duke]

Hey Uncle Jesse!

I would be honored to check out the show. Besides, I've been watching the second season anyways, so I don't mind watching "R.I.P. Henry Flatt" Okay, looking back on your previous posts, and seeing what you want and don't want, correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what you would like me to find:
Residents (Homes, not individuals)

Roads (in Hazzard? or also other counties? And do I need to tell what county/town it's in?)

Water (creeks, lakes, swamps, ponds, etc.)

Landmarks (canyons, hollows, caves, mountains, bridges, etc.)

Neigboring counties (including bosses, towns, and sheriffs) Do I need to try and telll you what direction (north, south, east, west) the town is from Hazzard?

You know, I feel bad that you can't watch this D.V.D. Just an idea, but sometimes when I have a D.V.D. that doesn't work, you can take a soft cloth and wipe the D.V.D. and sometimes that helps.

Okay, well, I'll try to watch "R.I.P. Henry Flatt" sometime this week! Anymore exciting progress on your map. It just sounds SO cool!

Laura Duke

[RogerDuke]

I don't need any details about other counties except the name of counties and cities outside of Hazzard County and what direction they're in (if stated) as well as the Boss and Sheriff of those places if mentioned.
Despite what the lists states "Homes-not individuals" I DO want the names of residents and any other info they might give.
Example: Cooter Davenport has a farm on Jessup Road 5 miles north of town.
I guess you should figure that if you're not sure about something, write it down anyway and I'll sort it out.
Thanks a million Laura. You should make a map too. Even if you only had the main characters on it, it would still be fun. If you need some basic info to get started I could post it here. Maybe other people would want to do this too.

[Laura Duke]

Hey Uncle Jesse!

Okay, I think that I figured everything out that I needed to know. Thanks for explaining.

Like I said, I'll try to watch the show sometime this week. I'm looking forward to this project, it sounds kind of fun!

As for me making a map. It sounds fun, but I wouldn't know where to start! And I didn't know that you knew where Cooter lived! Very cool! You have got to show us this map when you get done with it!

Okay, I'll get this done for you as soon as possible!

Laura Duke

[RogerDuke]

Actually Cooter really does live on his farm on Jessup Road but I made up the part about him being 5 miles north of town. In "Mason Dixon's Girls" they don't say the exact location of the farm or even which direction from town Jessup Road is. That's part of the fun of map-making...you get to use your imagination and make it whatever you want it to be, within limits of course.
Hazzardnet might have fanfic but I got mapfic....hey I just made that up just now! I'm gone.

[Laura Duke]

Hey Uncle Jesse!
You're a wealth of knowledge! I never knew Cooter lived on Jessup Road, much less on a farm! But, then again, just about everyone on the Dukes of Hazzard lived on a farm!:p
I just watched a Dukes of Hazzard show that named Mill Pond Road as were the Dukes lived, and that they lived 15 miles away from town! I was so excited to hear that! So, no wonder they can get from town to their house so fast, especially when they "go as the crow flies."
Have you started drawing a map?

Laura Duke

[RogerDuke]

Well Laura, I don't mean to confuse you (but this is Hazzard County after all).
You must have watched "The Runaway" if you learned that the Dukes live on Mill Pond Road.
If you watch "Treasure of Hazzard" you'll find out that they live on Mill Road.
If you watch "Sound of Music Hazzard Style" you'll find out that they live on Old Mill Road.
In reality, a lot of rural roads have more than one name. It's hard to say what's the official name of the road the Dukes live on. Obviously there used to be a mill or two on it (or still is). The first time Mill Pond is mentioned is early in the series (season 1-episode 6)
So, what do you think? If you were making a map of Hazzard County, what would you call it? I'll tell you what I'm doing after I hear your response. Remember, there is no right or wrong answer so don't worry about getting it wrong. Well, I guess you could get it wrong if you said Hogg Highway or something like that!!!

[Laura Duke]

Hey, Uncle Jesse!
Sorry for not getting back to you that quickly. Hmm.. That's a tough one. But, I was thinking, they are all some form of Mill Pond Road. Couldn't it be that the "Old Ridge Runners" just call it Old Mill Pond Road? Then people like Bo and Luke who are younger just call it Mill Pond Road?

But, you said that you were convinced that they were two different roads. So, first I thought I should choose between one of them. But, then I thought about it some more, so this is my answer to your question: I would put the Duke farm on the corner of Old Mill Pond Road and Mill Pond Road.

So, how did you do it? You know, this map making is tough-but it sure seems like fun. I can't wait to see how your map turns out.

Laura Duke

[RogerDuke]

Hi Laura, if you reread my last post slowly, I DIDN'T say that I thought there were two different roads. I did say that there might have been (or still are) more than one (grain) mill on that road. I also said that (one) rural road can have more than two names. Maybe one of those 2 statements threw you off.
I am proud of you for figuring out what (part) of my plan is. On my map, I'm putting the Duke Farm on "Old Mill Pond Road". I thought that was a good way of combining all the confusion. After all, you can never have enough confusion in Hazzard County. That's why it's never boring. I'm gone.

[Laura Duke]

Hey RogerDuke!

Oh, that's a great idea! I would do the same thing, combine! That makes sense to me. But, I'm still a little confused, I guess that I'm the "blonde" of the group!:p And don't let that get to your head, I see a lot of jokes coming my way!;)

The way you write, you kind of remind me of a lawyer! Ha! Ha!

At any rate, in the words of you, "I'm gone!"

Laura Duke

[RogerDuke]

Hey Laura, that reminds me of the line in "Southern Comfurts" (I think that's the episode) where Waylon said that Uncle Jesse is a fairly good country lawyer. Of course, right after that Uncle Jesse fainted!!!

[Laura Duke]

Hmmm.....
Now you're making me think! I can remember Waylon saying he was a fair country doctor, but I don't remember Uncle Jesse fainting! Would you know off-hand if that's season 2 (Southern Comfurts)? Now, I think that I'll have to watch that to see what you are referring to!

Laura Duke

[RogerDuke]

Yes, Southern Comfurts is from season 2 (episode 23)
If you do watch it, after Jesse "negotiates" the land deal to sell the Comfurts farm is when he faints. After he falls over, look real close at the position of his legs....it's hilarious!!!

[Laura Duke]

Oh, now you are making me SO curious! I'm about 6 shows away from "Southern Comfurts" so I can't wait to watch it to see Uncle Jesse faint!

By the way, I think that I'm 5 shows away from "R.I.P. Henry Flatt" I like to watch them in order, so I don't miss anything. But, if you would like me to get that done for you as soon as possible, I wouldn't mind skipping ahead for you. You're choice. I'm okay with either one, skipping ahead or watching them in order. I just didn't want to hold you up from your map making.

Laura Duke

[RogerDuke]

Laura, take your time on "RIP Henry Flatt". Have you had any problems with defective DVDs yet? There have been a couple items posted in the past with people who have.

[Laura Duke]

I have had some defective DVD's, but I usually found out they were defective in time and could return them and get a better DVD.

Sometimes I have problems with a DVD and I have found it helpful to get a soft cloth. Take the DVD out and kind of clean off the DVD player were the DVD sits in the player. Then, lightly clean the DVD (the side that you are playing, you don't have to clean the top if there is a picture on it). That has always worked for me. If you ever try it, let me know if that works or doesn't work for you.

Laura Duke

[Laura Duke]

Hello Roger,

I FINALLY was able to watch the show. There really weren't a lot of road and landmarks mentioned, but here were the ones that I heard:

* They have a cemetary called "Veteran's Cemetary"
(On this one, they mention a man who died-did you want his name?)

* Miller's Creek Road
(There's a right fork in the road that when you turn on it, it's a dead end. If you don't stop you end up in a pond(or creek). I'm guessing that since it's called "Miller's Creek Road", the creek is called Miller's Creek, although they didn't mention the specific name of the creek)

* Highway 7
(Sorry, but there's no other info than that. I couldn't find directions, road changes, etc. Hopefully you can find a way to weave Highway 7 onto your map)



Well, those were the ones that I caught. Also, special thanks to General Grant who helped me out a lot on this one. I couldn't have done it without the General. :D

Also, I'd like an update please-how's the map coming?

Oh, I saw the show "Southern Comfurts" today. I laughed when I noticed his feet when he fainted. You were right, it was funny! :D

Plus, on "R.I.P. Henry Flatt" I heard the coffin joke. I started laughing! I loved it. :rofl:

Well, that's about it.
Laura Duke

[RogerDuke]

Wow Laura, you've been busy watching some good episodes. I'm glad you found that coffin joke. For those of you who don't know what we're talking about it's....What did one casket say to the other casket? Is that you coffin?...we've been wondering what episode Rosco said that was on.
Laura, that Uncle Jesse fainting scene is a true classic moment on the series. But then again, I love every second of the Dukes so every scene is great.
Thanks for the info about Henry Flatt.
Thanks for asking about the map. I have all the information I need checked and double checked. Now I need to get moving on it..once I get started I know I'll really get into it but just knowing what a big project this is going to be compared to another smaller (incomplete) map I made in the past is depressing me. The problem is that there's only so much time in a day and I like to spend an hour on an episode and an hour on Hazzardnet every night so spending time on this wall sized map means something's gotta give. Maybe I'll work on it every other night. That means only watching an episode every other night instead of every night *sobs*

[Laura Duke]

Hey Roger!

I watched another show of the Dukes of Hazzard. I'm sure that you already know this, but Highway 7 forks to (the left I think) and takes you to the Boar's Nest. Also, Highway 7 is also next to the Dukes Property. Oh, I remember, this was from, "Carnival of Thrills-Part 1"

You know, until I started working on "Rip Henry Flatt" I never picked up on this before, but now that I do-you catch a lot more!

Sorry to hear that you can't watch Dukes every other night-that is sad! :(
But, keep me updated on your map!

Laura Duke

[RogerDuke]

Thanks Laura. Highway 7 is mentioned quite a few times in the series. I assume it's also known as County 7 but there's no way to be sure if they are the same road or not. I appreciate your interest in the map. Mapmaking can be anything you want it to be. You should try it. You could just put a handful of major locations and main characters on a small map or make a medium sized map and use stuff from your favorite episodes. It doesn't have to be big and complex. The only thing that it should be is FUN.

[Laura Duke]

Hey there Roger!

I would love to make a map of Hazzard, the only thing is, I'm terrible at decision making! :p I would have an ulcer trying to figure all of this out by myself. If someone was with me, helping me out, then I could do it. But, I think that I would be awful at it if I had to figure it all out on my own-I would be overwhelmed! My hat off to you, you are accomplishing a huge project, and I sure hope that it turns out wonderfully. And, I'd be happy to help you in any way I can!

I'd like an update. Did you start working on it yet? How far are you? If you know how to, and it's alright, I'd love to see some pictures on your progress. I just need an update! I've been so curious!

Laura Duke:D

[RogerDuke]

Thanks for asking. Since I intend for this map to be extemely accurate, after I recorded all the items in the catagories (see previous posts) I decided to watch the entire series again to confirm everything (using closed captioning for spelling confirmations) before I start putting it on poster board. I am now in the middle of the fifth season so I still have a little ways to go before the big project. I did this before many years ago but now with the convience of DVDs, this map will be much better and more accurate....and bigger.

My personal favorite of Season Five is right now "Lawman of The Year".

[Laura Duke]

Wow Roger! You certainly are precise when you take on a project, aren't you? Well, please write on here every so often to keep me up-to-date! I can't tell you how curious and excited I am about you doing this project. Also, if you figure out how, I would LOVE for you to put some pictures up of your finished map-even though that's going to be awhile from now!

Just keep me up to date!

Also, I haven't seen you around lately. How's everything going for you, Roger?

Laura Duke:D

[RogerDuke]

Sure thing Laura but I'll have to have my son-in-law help me with that. My technical expertise doesn't extend beyond knowing how to post words on the Hazzardnet...pictures sound real complicated.
I hear ya laughin'.....

Well, I might have chuckled....a little! :-P

Yes, whenever you get around to doing some progress on your map, and can have your son-in-law take so time to get them up on HazzardNet, I would LOVE to see the progress.

Thank, Roger!

Where can I find these Hazzard Maps at? I have always wonder were everything was at that was mentioned and shown on the show and I would love to see them.

Hey wekke and dukefan1, go to page 5 to see how I broke down the catagories when putting things in my notebook. If you're serious about making a map, I'd recommend reading the 7 pages on this thread for some pointers and fun information.
Hey Bo's Brunette, I don't think anybody has a map that is complete. Stay tuned though....

[wekke]

Thanks! I'm getting started, I'm gonna write comments and/or draw little schematic maps for each episode and then try to weave them together...

That list of categories is great, a good way to organise everything.

[RogerDuke]

wekke, I'm pretty excited that you're so interested in mapmaking. It's sure going to be fun to talk to you about different ideas. The nice thing about this hobby is that you can make any kind of map you want. If you want to make a huge one with every item ever mentioned, you can do that (if you want to put a lot of time in it.) If you want to make one with only the major characters, roads, waterways, landmarks, etc, you can do that too. It can be little or big. It can be accurate or you can have fun and put fantasy things like your own house on it. It can be artistic or simplistic. You can customize it pretty much any way you want or drive yourself crazy making it perfect.
The only requirement is...that you have a blast!!!

[dukefan1]

yea I decided to start one too. I started notes for now, trying to catch anything with a name or a direction.

[RogerDuke]

Sweet!! This is going to be fun!!

[LoriDavenport]

I WOULD start my own, but still have yet to get two more seasons... and I get frustrated eassy so I think I'll sit back and watch you pros at work heh.. ;)
