Free topo maps
« on: October 18, 2015, 11:05:11 pm »
Here's a site where you can download free USGS topo maps for most areas in the US - lower 48, anyway, haven't looked at Alaska.  These download as .pdf files, and zoom in pretty well.  Not super-fine detail, but they're free.

http://store.usgs.gov/b2c_usgs/b2c/start/%28xcm=r3standardpitrex_prd%29/.do

This site has a bit of instruction on how to use the downloader:

For the area I was looking at, was able to find maps from 1891 to 2013.

    Sorry, didn't realize this had been posted some years ago -- thought I had seen it elsewhere.  At any rate, a lot of what's there has been updated since the older thread.

      S___ no! I'm glad you posted it. Topo map topics should be reposted from time to time. This is a subject that just gets better with tech and we all know quickly tech/sat photography is advancing....Good links, thanks!!

    Thanks for the post!  :thumbup1

    If this is a repost, I don't mind. I might not have even been a member back then.

    Do we forget that cops were primarily still using 6 Shot Revolvers well through the mid 80's? It wasn't until after 1986 that most departments then relented and went to autos.
    Capacity wasn't really an issue then... and honestly really it's not even an issue now.
    Ray Chapman, used to say that the 125-grain Magnum load’s almost magical stopping power was the only reason to load .357 instead of .38 Special +P ammunition into a fighting revolver chambered for the Magnum round. I agree. - Massad Ayoob

    Paradoxically it is those who strive for self-reliance, who remain vigilant and ready to help others.
