Those maps are drawn by old timers who got sick of saying "can't get there from here". And they are making sure you can't. smile

They probably weren't official trails. Just paths left by many people hacking it on their own in the same footsteps. The park doesn't want you doing that and destroying possibly delicate land, so they're not going to condone the activity by promoting it to an official trail on their maps.
