Military map? I bought some USGS maps from http://topomaps.usgs.gov/. Depending on what you are using it for, I bought mine for disaster prepping, the 1:24,000 scale topos are nice to have. They are relatively cheap too, it makes sense to buy a bunch at once because of the shipping. Can't fit all of Will County on one at that scale though, so it all depends on what you are looking for.

No prob. Those maps and a reliable compass are nice to have in emergency situations IMHO, especially when a GPS will fail at the worst possible time. Like I said, I bought maps for the entire area around my home, so I can look at escape routes, water sources, ect. during a SHTF scenario. But be careful if you live in a newly developed area of Will (past 8 years or so) cause some place aren't on the maps the USGS have for sale, if you are using it for that kind of situation.

You can download relatively high res PDFs of the maps on USGS website.

I use Google Earth Pro and Arc GIS for everything else.  Then again I didn't pay for it.
