Topo Maps Online
Hunters have long known about and taken advantage of topographic maps and aerial photos. They can be invaluable tools for preliminary scouting of possible stand locations. Finding them for the right area and/or waiting for them to arrive once you had was the hard part. That’s not the case anymore.
With advances in technology and the Internet, hunters now have these tools available at their fingertips. With just a few keystrokes, you can have access to nearly every topographic map in the U.S. and aerial photos to go along with them if available. Who says that the net is all bad?
With Topozone, you’re able to find the maps of the areas you’re interested in and use them before spending a dime. You can choose the size and scale of the map, and even print them off with your desktop printer. And if you find exactly what you’re looking for, you can choose to download a MapPack that contains every topo and aerial photo of that location, starting at just $9.95.
If you want to order a printed map, Topozone provides links with every map to the USGS Printed Products Dealer Directory where you can find a vendor to purchase it from. If you want to view Aerial Photos before purchasing a map, you have to sign up for their premium service, which is around fifty dollars for one year (which is somewhat expensive if you’re only looking to find a few photos).
Overall though, Topozone is a site well worth any hunter checking out. I think you’ll like it.
