Just ordered a set. Now I need to decide where the September trip will be.

Look at the top of this forum. I don't know how many times I overlooked it since it's a sticky one. I've always loved this brand of maps and lately they've been hard to come by. I just picked up a full set so I always have the one I need. That seemed easier, and maybe actually cheaper, than figuring out which couple I had and ordering singles to make up a full set.
These new ones also have a portage rating (1-10) by the portages. I haven't really looked at some of our recent routes to see if I agree but cool nevertheless for planning.
Also, on the back of the map is the whole park overview as always, but now they have a highlighted area that shows all waters downstream of the proposed mines showing what would be in danger if it had a leak.

Oh yeah, and they also have by far the best website for looking at the maps. You can zoom in, pan, etc. With Fisher, you can hardly see anything unless you actually buy one.

I hope they update their website. It relies on FlashPlayer and that is being retired at the end of this year.
It is a great website for BWCA planning while at work and on the computer. Not that I do that.
