How to use the distances
One rod equals 16.5 feet. A double carry means walking the portage three times, so actual walking can be triple the mapped distance. The official map gives endpoints and length, but not a difficulty grade or surveyed GPS line; wet landings, roots, blowdown, and pack weight can change the effort.
