If you are fire service, you can find a department with a plotter and print those maps yourself. Worst case scenario - make friends with someone in forestry and use theirs.

U.S. Geological Survey has all the maps. but it's kind of a rabbit hole and I don't really know about the pricing.

Thomas Brothers supplies the maps at county EOCs and fire departments. They have huge county sized and state maps.
At least they used to, don't know about now. Worth a look at their website. HERE |

Good to know about the plotters though If you get in a pinch, shoot me an IM. My department has a plotter, but the fact that I would have to send them snail-mail might be a little tedious for you.

ETA
I am getting sent a lot of links to $150+ maps. I know about these as they are fairly easy to find. I'd love to find some under $50 but a little more would be ok if it was big enough and had the detail I needed. |

$65 for their laminated California map. Certainly not a horrible price. For motorcycle trip planning, my go to maps are the Delorme Atlas & Gazetter series that are about 11 x 17. Super detailed (down to almost all back roads) and portable. I photocopy a single page down to two each 8 x 11 and carry those in my tank bag's clear map section. I highlight areas I've traveled or will travel... About $20 a book. ETA - Newer versions are aparently capable of taking a grease pen now. Haven't tried it on my new book - something additional to consider. They used to have both a Southern and Northern Cali series. Only seeing one now... Delorme Atlas & Gazetter - California 
Another option are the Butler Maps - a lot of guys speak highly of them. I've never used them but here is a comparison...  Delorme Map Review and Comparison to Butler Maps ADV Riding |

Yep they are cool and about 5' long if my memory serves me right (it's in my office). Certainly not a super detailed map, but great for most roads and getting a general layout of a route.

Try a BLM office.
I used to be able to buy maps for my county that were devided into about 4 seperate maps. When you find the area you want off of whatever regional state map get a BLM map for trails beyond roads. |

They don't read the post and have nothing intelligent to add but try and get a few words in edgewise so they can show off how cool they are to everyone. That type of jackass you just can't hide from. Thankfully @boolzi isn't that kind of jackass |
