Paper Maps

[Kevinhooa]

Not sure if this is the spot for this question, so feel free to move it if needed.

I saw the frequently asked question area about the wildlife management area maps. Those are what I am looking for but I'm having trouble finding a place to purchase the paper versions. Would anyone know of a good source where I could pick from a bunch of different South Jersey area Topo maps?

I have the map for the whole Mullica River area and love it. Just looking to connect things elsewhere.

I know you can get the USGS topomaps at the Atsion station, and I imagine the same is true at Batsto.

Not sure exactly what you need - do you just want the USGS 24k (aka 7.5 minute) topo maps or are you looking for something that specifically shows the WMA's? Not aware of anyplace that you can purchase hardcopy WMA maps, but you can order the regular USGS topo maps directly from their website here for $8 each: http://store.usgs.gov/b2c_usgs/b2c/...rea=2&ctype=areaDetails&carea=0000001076)/.do

The WMA maps are on the NJF&W web site and are topo's with the WMA boundary on them.

There is also a fellow that maintains GE KML layers for the more popular WMA's. If I can dig out the his web site I'll update this post.

If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch use this for regular topo's.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I will try the Batsto info center first, and then some of those web sites. I think I confused the USGS Topo and WMA maps, and really I'm only looking for the USGS Topo maps, but it has to be paper.

I'm not big with sitting in front of a computer zooming in and out for extended periods. I like seeing the area as a whole and writing in notes and highlighting stuff. I'm specifically looking for an old dump and a cemetery and I know those maps usually list unique features like that. My Mullica River map actually has the Clarks Landing graves listed as a cemetery which I thought was crazy for a map like that.

Thanks again guys.

The link I posted above lets you order the "real" hardcopy USGS 24k topo maps and have them shipped to you. I have also purchased them at Batsto, but that was many years ago. There used to be a little map shop in Evesboro (?) in the same center as TGI Friday's - bought a lot of stuff there, even though it was more expensive because I liked supporting that kind of little local business. Unfortunately they are now out of business, after moving to another location I think (there was a thread about this several years ago).

Seems to me that REI may also sell the paper maps.
