Hard Copy Maps

[Paisano]

Just wondering what everyone is using to obtain a hard copy topo map of their hunt area? It sure is handy to have one map of the gmu compared to multiple quads taped together etc. Last time I ordered a "gmu wide" map I wasn't real impressed. I figure some of you guys have this down to a science and could recommend a good place to buy a quality map.

Good luck to all this season.

Mytopo has hard copy maps. You can take a look at what they look like on their website and decide if they are what you are looking for.

This is the only one I have used. Happy with the product.

Use to bre able to get quadrangle maps from sporting good stores or something like REI. Not sure if you can get maps from a local forest service district or BLM office or not.

local university library has them. They can scan it and make a print as well.

The last mytopo maps I got were fuzzy.....

REI or similar backpack shops might have the Nat.Geo system and be able to produce on h2o proof paper.
I still wind up with new maps from USGS every year to add to the file cabinet or replace field maps.

I like mytopo also. I find I can custom make the map and overlap quadrangles vs carrying up to four USGS maps to cover the hunting area. Plus I can print them on waterproof paper.

Custom mytopo maps are the ticket, IMO.

Agreed. I used them for the first time last year and was impressed... The area I wanted to hunt would have taken 3 USGS maps, but was able to narrow it down to 1 with the custom option at mytopo.
