Overview

Finding the site you want is a multistep process.

This map has four active controls:

Each control updates the map separately from the others. For best results, use the controls in combination to locate sites offering services in your selected categories.

Location Search

Use this control to find an address, city, county or zip code. Enter your location information and press the "Go" button. The map will zoom to the point nearest the location you entered. If you are looking for a county having the same name as a city, enter (for example) "denver county".

Choose Categories

The items within a category can be displayed by clicking the green "+" button for that category. To select a category, click the checkbox to the left of the item description. To deselect a category, uncheck the checkbox. When you choose SELECT ALL, the checkboxes for all items in the category are checked or unchecked.

As you select and deselect items, the map will redisplay site locations having the category items you select. The site's category is indicated by the colored dots appearing on the map surface. The dot color on the map corresponds to the category item color you selected in your search. Note that sites may match on more than one category.

If you are unsure of the purpose of a category item, press the ? and a pop-up window will explain.
