****MAPS NEEDED****
« on: September 09, 2014, 09:26:00 PM »
Looking for a company to get some good detailed maps.... Topo and aerial are preferred.  Are "custom" maps out of the question?

Take a look at pictometry.com. I have used it at work and it has some very interesting settings.
Hope this helps!

Looks like Mytopo.com will work. But check the date of map if you are going to use it for things like finding water where you are heated.
Got stung up in the San Diego Area mtn's by a map we got at a reliable backpacking store in San Diego. Map was a reprint from 1955. Needless to say the water source was long gone.

I just spent the last hour messing around on Mytopo.... This seem like it will be a great tool to help me navigate some bottom land in search of tasty critters! Thanks.

My topo.com is awesome.
You can get topos, shaded relief topos, aerial, satilite, property boundary with land owners names etc.
 You can save to computer free or buy. All their maps you buy are top shelf quality maps.

If you aren't satisfied with any of the ones above check out Apex Mapping Solutions and let him know where you need a map.  He will actually place stands etc. on your map and they are printed on waterproof paper.

Get ahold of the USGS, they have all the maps you need.  If I remember right at a reasonable price also.

Now I think Apex Mapping Solutions might be my best bet.... I sent them an email.  I love looking at maps!

I know it is kinda a weird way of finding maps but the maps provided through the links on Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma's web site are great.  You can scroll to anywhere in North America at least, maybe the world ( I've never tried) and you can play around and look at topo, satellite, and lots of other views.   Sorry you have to be a tribal member in order to hunt tribal land.
