go to the usgs site, find your area, and get the download. its a little strange because it looks like you have to buy the map, but when you click to buy , the price is 0.

is there any way to get a 1:50k or 1:25k MGRS topo anywhere? i am consistently pissed at the shittiness of maps available. sure, i can GPS my way along, but with the no-scale, spitballed maps most DNRs provide, it's pointless.

Nice google earth plugin, it will let you click on sections of the US in GE and download a topo map that overlays very well.

Read the instructions, you have to do something with "legacy mode" or whatnot to get it to work, but it once that is done - everything works perfect.

yea it's just nice to do a little map recon before i punch out. work and such get time consuming so it'd be nice to have some priorities set out in advance before i get there. i try to do it with sat photos from google maps but without grids i ghetto terrain-associate and it usually ends up to be mostly stumbling through the treeline scaring everything off.
