Maps, and I'm not talking about OKC

[Hump66]

USGS has some very cool tools for maps. Here you can pick areas and either download .pdf's or print maps. You can pick what features you want to be shown as well, either satelite imagery or just a plain old topographic. Check it out.

Thanks for the info. This is the first post in this section I find useful. I need to order my compass and make some of these maps and have them laminated.

 

[Hump66]

What compass are you getting?

I used their service to get some good topos of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge a few years ago...served me well during a hike in Charon's Gardens.

Cut out the sections I needed and laminated them just like Dustin said....

Has anyone tried the weatherproof/waterproof inkjet printer paper?

If you have an iPad, there are several apps that will enable you to do a free download of many USGS maps and enable a GPS nav interface.
