I'd like to get some maps just like the ones I used in the Marines that have a scale of 1:50,000 and grid lines. Does anyone know where I can buy some? USGS maps don't use that scale. Online maps are fine, but there are limitations to 8.5X11" maps.
Is there a place I can buy the maps I'm looking for?

I gotta hold on to my angst. I preserve it because I need it. It keeps me sharp, on the edge, where I gotta be.

These fellows have 1:50,000 maps.

Not sure where your looking for maps, I just picked Waco for test, but they got 'em.

Eastern Mountain Sports puts out nice maps on Mylar. I use them here in the mountains with lots of snow and rain.

BTT....anyone?
I'm looking for full-sized maps that I can order. I called Eastern Mountain Sports and they said that the stores stock limited amounts of maps, but they don't sell them on their site. They recommended USGS. USGS maps come in 1:24,000, 1:25,000 and 1:63,360 scales, but not the 1:50K I'm looking for.
Anyone?

I hate it when they do this to me but, what do you need em for? I know you are unemployed, pissed at the world, and highly trained. I am nervous. [:D]

I want to practice land nav like I learned it in the Marine Corps. I can feel my skill getting rusty everytime I turn on my GPS. I haven't done any resection, intersection, etc in far too long.

I found a company that will print custom maps at various scales, including 1:50,000 and 1:24,000 of any place with a USGS survey on file. They run about $10-15 each and can get them to you in a couple of days. The link is on my computer at work. Bump this topic tomorrow and I'll post it.

Jst buy the 1:25k USGS maps and cut the scale in half.
That is, if you can't find anything better.
