Topo Maps Over the Internet

[Snagly]

I made this post on another site and thought some RT/ Jennie sorts might benefit from it:

I tried to post this in response to the thread down below, but didn't have any success so I'm starting a new thread.

For US topo maps (including Alaska) on-line and downloadable/ printable in acceptable quality, try www.topozone.com. It takes a while to get the right spot(s) with the right level of enlargement but if you're patient you can get just about anywhere in the US, free.

US Geological Service online facilities for finding maps: http://mapping.usgs.gov/mac/findmaps.html. Maps ordered from the USGS typically cost $5 each with a $4 handling charge per order.

For Canada, http://nrcan.gc.ca/topographic.html enables you to order 1:50,000 ("NTS" green) topo maps for C$9 each, while the TRIM maps (higher resolution at 1:20,000) are found at www.landdata.gov.bc.ca/ (for British Columbia only and C$7 each)

Hope this helps

www.topomap.com is a better site as they offer nautical type maps.

This is also a good site. They are online free topo maps. Provides 1:25k for most of the Pacific NorthWest. http://www.trails.com/explore/maps.asp

Only disadvantage is no function to export the maps. The only option is a screen capture.
