09/25/2018 09:04AM I've downloaded Quad Maps on the Natgeo site. They don't have the established trails marked, but they're great maps for backcountry hunting, fishing and hiking. Free Downloads |

09/20/2018 12:07PM Another good source for maps is CalTopo , through which you can access the USGS 7.5' topo maps. It has a fairly easy to use interface. What it does not have: trails. You would have to import these in most cases, but that is still easier to do here than with a raw USGS topo map PDF. |

09/20/2018 11:43AM I call them up directly, they are more than willing to help you out. I told them their site was not user freindly for finding what map I needed and they agreed. You will need to have a pretty good idea of where you will be, so they can do the search for you. A Superior NF map will help you explain to them where you are headed so they can search easier for you. 1-888-ASK-USGS (1-888-275-8747) The phone number is at the bottom of the link. |

09/20/2018 11:11AM For those who hike in the BWCA (or elsewhere in Minnesota), what is your source for topo / trail maps? My son and I are returning to backpacking this fall, and I have not been able to find a source for maps. I've looked at the USGS site for topo maps but find it pretty tough to navigate. Thanks for any help. Dave |
