USGS Offers Topo Purchases Online

August 17th, 2007 Wade

The USGS has released a new software by which you can search for and buy topo maps from around the US. When you hit the site you can search through a Google Maps application to find the map you want. Then you can choose to buy it. I walked through the process and it looks like a map costs $6 with a $5 handling fee for each order. So, the more maps you buy at once the more you save on handling fees. This could be especially handy for those off-the-beaten path parks and places that don’t sell maps for their area.

Check it out. It’s a pretty cool way to find a topographic map for that upcoming slumber party in the woods.
